1.1 Introduction to Link Aggregation
This section describes the concept of link aggregation.
Link aggregation refers to a method of bundling a group of physical interfaces into a logical
interface to increase bandwidth and improve reliability. These types of groupings are also called
multi-interface load sharing groups or link aggregation groups (LAGs). For details, refer to
IEEE802.3ad.
Link aggregation provides redundancy protection for communication channels among between
devices without upgrading the hardware to higher capacities.
1.2 Link Aggregation Supported by the AR1200-S
This section describes the link aggregation features supported by the AR1200-S.
Manual Load Balancing Mode
In load balancing mode, you can manually add member interfaces to a link aggregation group
(LAG). All the interfaces configured with load balancing are in forwarding state. The AR1200-
S can perform load balancing based on Exclusive-Or of source and destination MAC addresses,
or Exclusive-Or of source and destination IP addresses.
The manual load balancing mode does not use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
The AR1200-S can use this mode if the peer device does not support LACP.
Static LACP Mode
In static LACP mode, devices at two ends of a link negotiate aggregation parameters by
exchanging LACP packets. After the negotiation is complete, the two devices determine the
active interface and the inactive interface. In this mode, you need to manually create an Eth-
Trunk and add members to it. LACP negotiation determines which interfaces are active and
which ones are inactive.
The static LACP mode is also called the M:N mode. In this mode, links load balance traffic and
provide redundancy backup at the same time. In an LAG, M links are active and they forward
data in load balancing mode. N links are inactive and they function as backup links. The backup
links do not forward data. If an active link fails, data forwarding is switched to the backup link
with the highest priority, and the status of the backup link changes to active.
In static LACP mode, some links function as backup links. In manual load balancing mode, all
member interfaces work in forwarding state to share the traffic. This is the main difference
between the two modes.
Active and Inactive Interfaces
Active interfaces refer to the interfaces in active state that forward data. The interfaces that do
not forward data and are in inactive state are called inactive interfaces. Depending on the link
aggregation mode the interfaces use, active and inactive interfaces are classified as follows:
l
Manual load balancing mode: Generally, all member interfaces are active interfaces unlessa fault occurs.

l Static LACP mode: The interfaces connected to M links are active interfaces that forward
data; the interfaces connected to N links are inactive interfaces that are used for redundancy
backup.
Actor and Partner
In static LACP mode, the device in the link aggregation group with a higher LACP priorityis
the Actor and the device with a lower LACP priority is the Partner.
If the two devices have the same LACP priority, the Actor is selected based on the MAC
addresses of the devices. The device with a smaller MAC address becomes the Actor.
Differentiating the Actor and the Partner keeps the active interfaces at both ends consistent. If
both ends select active interfaces according to the priorities of their own interfaces, the active
interfaces may be different at two ends. To prevent this problem, devices at two ends determine
the Actor first, and the Partner selects active interfaces according to priorities of the interfaces
on the Actor. Figure 1-1shows the process of selecting active interfaces.

1.3 Configuring Link Aggregation in Manual Load
Balancing ModeThis section describes how to configure link aggregation in manual load balancing mode.
1.3.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Applicable Environment
When the bandwidth or the reliability of two devices should be increased and either of the two
devices does not support LACP, create an Eth-Trunk in manual load balancing mode on thedevices and add member interfaces to the Eth-Trunk, as shown in Figure 1-2.

Member interfaces of a Layer 2 Eth-Trunk must be Layer 2 interfaces, and member
interfaces of a Layer 3 Eth-Trunk must be Layer 3 interfaces.
An Eth-Trunk supports a maximum of eight member interfaces.
A member interface cannot have any service or static MAC address configured.
Ensure that interfaces added to an Eth-Trunk are hybrid interfaces (the default interface
type).
An Eth-Trunk interface cannot have other Eth-Trunk interfaces as member interfaces.
An Ethernet interface can be added to only one Eth-trunk interface. To add the Ethernet
interface to another Eth-trunk, delete the Ethernet interface from the current Eth-Trunk
first.
Member interfaces of an Eth-trunk must be the same type. For example, an FE interface
and a GE interface cannot be added to the same Eth-trunk interface.
Ethernet interfaces on different LPUs can be added to the same Eth-Trunk.
The peer interface directly connected to a member interface of the local Eth-Trunk mustalso be added to an Eth-Trunk; otherwise, the two ends cannot communicate.
When member interfaces have different rates, the interfaces with lower rates may
become congested and packet loss may occur.
After an interface is added to an Eth-Trunk, MAC address learning is performed by the
Eth-Trunk rather than the member interfaces.
G.SHDSL interfaces that work in PTM mode cannot be added to an Eth-Trunk.

on both ends of the Eth-Trunk.
Step 4 Run:lacp preempt delaydelay-time
The preemption delay is set for the Eth-Trunk.
By default, the preemption delay is 30 seconds.
LACP preemption function ensures that the interface with the highest LACP priority serves as
an active interface. If this function is enabled, the interface with the highest priority automatically
becomes an active interface after recovering from a failure. If this function is enabled, the
interface cannot automatically become an active interface again after it goes Down due to a
failure.
The delay for LACP preemption refers to the period in which an inactive interface of the Eth-
Trunk in static LACP mode waits before it becomes active.

l After the lacp timeoutcommand is configured, the local end informs the peer end of the configured
timeout interval through LACP packets. The peer end then sends LACP packets at the specified interval.
If the fastkeyword is used, the peer end sends LACP packets at an interval of 1 second. If the slow
keyword is used, the peer end sends LACP packets at an interval of 30 seconds.
l The timeout interval for receiving LACP packets on the local end is three times the interval at which
the peer end sends LACP packets. That is, when the fastkeyword is used, the timeout interval for
receiving LACP packets is 3s; when the slowkeyword is used, the timeout interval for receiving LACP
packets is 90s.
l You can select different keywords on the two ends. However, it is recommended that you select the
same keyword on both ends to facilitate maintenance.

1.6.2 Example for Configuring Link Aggregation in Static LACPMode
Networking Requirements
To increase the bandwidth and improve the connection reliability, you can configure a link
aggregation group on two directly connected routers, as shown in Figure 1-5. The requirements
are as follows:
l The link aggregation group contains three member links. Two links function as active links
to implement load balancing, and the other link functions as the backup link.
l When a fault occurs on an active link, the backup link replaces the faulty one to help ensure
uninterrupted data.
