HP A5500-24G SI Switch Manual Link Aggregation

[tenable]

I have fresh HP A5500-24G SI Switch JD369A  and want to configure manual link aggregation on it. But there is no  link-aggregation group agg-id mode manual command on it? Is there any prerequisite command ?

I follow  3Com Switch 5500G Family Configuration Guide.

Hi,

The HP A5500 is equivalent to the H3C 5500 aka 3Com 4800, which runs comware5, instead of comware3 that runs on the 3Com 5500G.

Look it up in the command reference guide for the h3c 5500 instead, I think the command is something in the line of "link-aggregation group 1 mode manual".

Here's a quick howto:

system-view

interface bridge-aggregation <Virtual Interface Number> #create an aggregation interface

quit

interface <X><Y>

port link aggregation-group <Virtual Interface Number> #add the physical <X><Y> interface to the aggregate

Repeat the last 2 steps for each interface you want aggregated. Of course, do not forget to

interface bridge-aggregation <Virtual Interface Number>

undo shutdown

Thank you very  much for help .
krastev your configuration really works....

Static link aggregation

Create a bridge aggregation group

NOTE! It is in static mode by default 

[Sw-A]interface bridge-aggregation 1

[Sw-A-Bridge-Aggregation1]description Connection-to-Distribution-1

[Sw-A-Bridge-Aggregation1]quit

Assign interfaces to bridge aggregation

[Sw-A]interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/1]port link-aggregation group 1

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/1]interface GigabitEtherne1/0/2

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/2]port link-aggregation group 1

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/2]quit

Parameters on a bridge aggregation interface are set the same as on a physical interface

[Sw-A]interface bridge-aggregation 1

[Sw-A-Bridge-Aggregation1]port link-type trunk

[Sw-A-Bridge-Aggregation1]port trunk permit vlan 100 200 

Dynamic link aggregation

Create a bridge aggregation group in dynamic mode (LACP)

[Sw-A]interface bridge-aggregation 2

[Sw-A-Bridge-Aggregation2]link-aggregation mode dynamic

[Sw-A-Bridge-Aggregation2]quit

Assign ports to the bridge aggregation

[Sw-A]interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/3

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/3]port link-aggregation group 2

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/3]interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/4

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/4]port link-aggregation group 2

[SW-A-GigabitEthernet1/0/4]quit

Check your link aggregation

[Sw-A] display link-aggregation summary
[SW-A] display link-aggregation verbose Bridge-Aggregation 1

This is good info.

Q. I have  new HP A5500 24 ports and  I need to  add a default gateway. ?

 not too sure as  the  documentation veers off from the  traditional  ip default-gateway ip address. 

eg in system-view

 [HPSW1] ip default-gateway 10.200.199.255
                   ^
 % Unrecognized command found at '^' position.

Any help is  most appreciated

Don't use commands from other operating systems. HP A5500 has comware! :-)

Try:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.200.199.255
