OLT uplink traffic load sharing ,how to configure EA5800 M-LAG

Hello, friend.

Based on your problem description, it is about configuring an Ethernet LAG on the EA5800. Figure 1 shows the flowchart for configuring a LAG.

Prerequisites

• Interconnected devices, hardware, and port attributes must support LAGs.

• The member ports of LAG do not have static MAC addresses. You can run the display mac-address command to query whether an aggregated port has a static MAC address.

Procedure

1. Create a LAG and select the aggregation type.

   Run the link-aggregation command to add multiple upstream Ethernet ports to the same LAG to implement protection and load sharing between ports. The port with the smallest port ID is the master port.

   NOTE: If the device is interconnected with the device that supports LACP, static aggregation is recommended. If the device is interconnected with the device that does not support LACP, only manual aggregation can be used.

2. (Optional) Select the load-carrying type.

   This step is required only when a static LAG is configured.

   Configuring the maximum selected links in a LAG implements traffic allocation in load non-sharing mode. For example, M+N links are configured in a LAG. Then, run the link-aggregation max-link-number command to specify N selected links. The remaining M links are standby ones. If a selected link is disconnected, a standby link automatically changes to the selected one.

   NOTE: If the load sharing type is not configured, a LAG works in load sharing mode by default.
