VLAG Commands
vlag-create
To create a new virtual link aggregation group (VLAG), use this command.
Informational Note: Before you configure VLAGs, you must have two switches in a cluster configuration. One switch is the local switch used to specify the local port, and the other is a peer switch used to specify the peer port.
A switch can only participate in one cluster.
Syntax vlag-create
name name-string |
Specify the name of the VLAG. |
port vlag-usable-port |
Specify the local VLAG port. |
peer-port vlag-usable-port |
Specify the VLAG peer-port. |
mode active-standby| |
Specify the mode for the VLAG. Active-standby indicates one side is active, and the other is in standby mode. (Not Supported) Active-Active indicates that both sides of the VLAG are up by default. |
peer-switch fabric-node-name |
Specify the fabric name of the peer switch. |
failover-move-L2| |
Specify the failover action as move or ignore. |
lacp-mode off|passive|active |
Specify the LACP mode. |
lacp-timeout slow|fast |
Specify the LACP timeout as slow (30 seconds) or fast (4 seconds). |
lacp-fallback bundle|individual |
Specify the LACP fallback mode as bundle or individual. |
lacp-fallback-timeout seconds |
Specify the LACP fallback timeout between 30, and 60 seconds. The default value is 50 seconds. |
lacp-port-priority number |
Specify the LACP port priority as a value between 1, and 65535. |
Defaults None.

Usage A virtual link aggregation group (VLAG) allows links that are physically connected to two different Pluribus Networks devices to appear as a single trunk to a third device. The third device can be a switch, server, or any Ethernet device. A VLAG can provide Layer 2 multipathing, which allows you to create redundancy by increasing bandwidth, enabling multiple parallel paths between nodes, and loadbalancing traffic where alternative paths exist. This command creates a new VLAG.
Examples This example shows how to create a VLAG with identifier 1 to aggregate the links connected to port 1 of both the local, and peer switch.
