member-link gbe

member-link gbe

Associates a GBE interface into an aggregate-link.

Syntax: [no] member-link gbe bay/slot/port

bay/slot/port

Identifies a specific interface on the Avici router. Valid values are as follows:

bay: Identifier for this bay. Valid values are 1 and 2.
slot: Slot number where the module is installed. Valid values are 1 - 40.

port: 2x1gbe module has 2 ports, an 8x1gbe has 8 ports. Valid values are 1 - 8.

Description: An aggregate link is a number of same rate Ethernet interfaces configured to collectively operate as a composite. Member links run over GBE interfaces. Up to 64 aggregate links can be configured per Avici router.

Up to 16 member links can be associated into an aggregate link.

Individual member-links can be associated with only one aggregate-link.

Only same rate member links are allowed in an aggregate link. The individual interfaces on a routing module can be associated with different aggregate links. For example, the 2 interfaces of a 2x1gbe routing module can be associated with two different aggregate links or the same aggregate link.

Use the interface aggregate-link command to create an aggregate link and change the command mode to add individual member-links.

Use the member-link gbe command to add member-links to the aggregate link.

Use the no member-link gbe command to delete member links from a composite link.

Factory Default: No aggregate links or member-links defined.

Command Mode: Aggregate-link interface configuration.

Example 1: In the following example:

The interface aggregate-link command defines a composite link named Boston2LA and changes the command mode to interface configuration mode.

The ip address command assigns an address and mask to the composite link. This address is inherited by all the member links associated with the composite link.

The member-link-pos commands associate two GBE interfaces with the composite link.

The no shutdown command enables the link

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#interface aggregate-link Boston2LA

router(config-if)#ip address 10.5.12.134 255.0.0.0

router(config-if)#member-link gbe 1/1/1

router(config-if)#member-link gbe 1/1/2

router(config-if)#no shutdown

router#exit

Example 2: In the following example, the no member-link gbe command deletes the association between the aggregate link and GBE interface 1/1/1:

NOTE Member-links inherit Layer-3 attributes from their composite link. When the association between member link and composite link is deleted, the member link has no assigned ip address and mask and the MTU is reset to the default for GBE links.

router(config)#interface composite-link Boston2LA

router(config-if)#no member-link-pos 1/1/1

router(config-if)#end

router#show ip interface brief pos 1/1/1
