Viewing Switch Port Aggregation Function

You can view switch aggregation port information using commands that display the status, configuration, and traffic statistics of aggregated interfaces, such as LACP, PAgP, or static aggregation.

Key Methods to View Aggregation Port Information

1. Using H3C Switch Commands On H3C switches, the command display interface bridge-aggregation provides detailed information about a Layer 2 aggregated interface. This includes:

  • Current state and line protocol status
  • Bandwidth and duplex mode
  • Port VLAN ID (PVID) and tagged/untagged VLANs
  • Input/output packet and byte statistics
  • Error counters such as CRC, frame, and overruns
  • Last clearing of counters and recent traffic rates Example output snippet:

CodeCopyBridge-Aggregation1 Current state: UPLine protocol state: UPInterface Bandwidth: 1000 kbpsPVID: 1Port link-type: AccessTagged VLANs: NoneUnTagged VLANs: 1Input (total): 5364747 packets, 686688416 bytesOutput (total): 1042508 packets, 133441832 bytes

2. Using Cisco Switch Commands For Cisco switches, you can use:

  • show etherchannel summary – Displays all EtherChannel groups, their ports, and status
  • show etherchannel detail – Provides detailed information about each port in the aggregation, including PAgP or LACP mode, load balancing, and errors 3. Understanding Aggregation Modes
  • Static (ON) Mode: Ports are manually added to an aggregation group without negotiation.
  • LACP Active/Passive Mode: Ports negotiate dynamically using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol to form a logical channel. Active initiates negotiation, passive responds .
  • PAgP Desirable/Auto Mode: Cisco proprietary protocol for dynamic EtherChannel negotiation. Desirable actively negotiates, auto listens for messages . 4. Important Attributes to Check When viewing aggregation port information, ensure the following are consistent across all member ports:
  • Speed and duplex settings
  • VLAN configuration (PVID and allowed VLANs)
  • STP settings (priority, cost, enable/disable)
  • Link type (access, trunk, or hybrid)
  • Aggregation protocol mode (static, LACP, or PAgP), 5. Advanced Aggregation
  • MC-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) allows two switches to act as a single logical unit, providing redundancy and load balancing. Viewing MC-LAG status typically requires checking both switches for synchronized aggregation information . By using these commands and checking the key attributes, you can effectively monitor the health, configuration, and performance of aggregated ports on your switch.
