Link Aggregation

All uplink ports are configured in a single LAG (LAG 128). Server-facing ports
are auto-configured as part of link aggregation groups if the corresponding
server is configured for LACP-based NIC teaming. Static LAGs are not
supported.
Tip: The recommended LACP timeout is long-timeout mode.

Link Tracking

By default, all server-facing ports are tracked by the operational status of the
uplink LAG. If the uplink LAG goes down, the Aggregator loses its
connectivity and is no longer operational; all server-facing ports are brought
down.
Tip: If installed servers do not have connectivity to a ToR switch, check the
Link Status LED of uplink ports on the Aggregator. If all LEDs are on, check
the LACP configuration on the ToR switch that is connected to the
Aggregator to ensure the LACP is correctly configured.

Configuring VLANs

By default, all Aggregator ports belong to all 4094 VLANs and are members of
untagged VLAN 1. You can use the CLI or CMC interface to configure only
the required VLANs on a port.
When you configure VLANs on server-facing interfaces (ports 1 to 32), you
can assign VLANs to a port or a range of ports by entering the vlan tagged or
vlan untagged commands in interface configuration mode; for example:
FTOS(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/2 - 4
FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan tagged 5,7,10-12
FTOS(conf-if-range-te-0/2-4)# vlan untagged 3
You can also use the CMC interface to configure VLANs. For information
about how to access the CMC, refer to the
