Form LAG

You can form a LAG using the GUI.

When you form a LAG, it inherits any connectivity templates assigned on the individual links. The LAG is created, but LACP configuration won't be pushed to the device until connectivity templates are applied. When you form a LAG, it inherits any connectivity templates assigned on the individual links.

To form a LAG using the GUI:

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select the node to add as a member of a LAG. In our example, we've selected leaf3.
    The Topology selection view appears.
  2. From the Neighbors view (default view), select the interface check box to see the operations available for that link (and that you have permissions for).
  3. Click Form LAG
    The Form LAG dialog opens.
  4. Select the LAG mode:
    • LACP (Active) - actively advertises LACP BPDU even when neighbors do not.
    • LACP (Passive) - doesn't generate LACP BPDU until it sees one from a neighbor.
    • Static LAG (no LACP) - Static LAGs don't participate in LACP and will conditionally operate in forwarding mode.
  5. Click Update.

The changes are staged and you're returned to the Topology selection view

When you're ready to activate your changes, go to the Uncommitted tab to review and commit (or discard) your changes.
