Configuring Dynamic Link Aggregation

Application Examples

OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

page 23-29

Dynamic link aggregation groups are treated by the switch’s software the same way it treats individual 
physical ports.This section demonstrates this feature by providing sample network configurations that use 
dynamic aggregation along with other software features. In addition, tutorials are provided that show how 
to configure these sample networks by using Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.

The figure below shows two VLANs on Switch A that use two different link aggregation groups. VLAN 
10 has been configured on dynamic aggregate group 5 with Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) with the high-
est (15) priority possible. And VLAN 12 has been configured on dynamic aggregate group 7 with 802.1Q 
tagging and 802.1p priority bit settings. 

The steps to configure VLAN 10 (Spanning Tree example) are described in 

. The steps to configure VLAN 12 (802.1Q and 802.1p example) are 

described in 

Note. Although you would need to configure both the local (i.e., Switch A) and remote (i.e., Switches B 
and C) switches, only the steps to configure the local switch are provided since the steps to configure the 
remote switches are not significantly different.

VLAN 12 with 802.1Q tagging 
using 802.1p priority has been 
configured to use this group.

VLAN 10 has been configured to 
use this group with Spanning 
Tree with a priority of 15.
