Ethernet link aggregation, also called Eth-Trunk, bundles multiple physical links into a logical link to increase link bandwidth. The bundled links back up each other, increasing reliability.
Step 1 Checking Whether the Physical Status of a Member Interfaces Is Up
Run the display interface interface-type interface-number command in any view to check whether the interface enters the Up state.
<HUAWEI> display interface

If the physical status of a member interface is not Up, see Optical Interface Interconnection Is Abnormal on CE Switches or Copper Interface Interconnection Is Abnormal on CE Switches.
Step 2 Checking Whether Physical Connections Are Correct
When a switch connects to a remote device through an Eth-Trunk, incorrect connections between Eth-Trunk member interfaces often occur. You are advised to enable LLDP on the switch and run the display lldp neighbor brief command to check whether the switch is correctly connected to the remote device and whether interfaces between devices are connected. If connections are incorrect, adjust connections.
# Enable LLDP.

Step 3 Check Whether the Threshold Number of Active Interfaces Is Configured
Run the display eth-trunk command in any view to check whether the lower threshold for the number of active interfaces is set on an Eth-Trunk interface. If the number of Up member interfaces on the Eth-Trunk is smaller than the threshold, the Eth-Trunk becomes Down.
<HUAWEI> display eth-trunk

Eth-Trunk10's state information is:
Working Mode: Normal Hash Arithmetic:

10GE1/0/41
Down 1
Least Active-linknumber: indicates the lower threshold for the number of active links in the Eth-Trunk. In the preceding example, the threshold is 2, which indicates that link aggregation goes Up when two member interfaces are Up.
Run the least active-linknumber link-number command in the Eth-Trunk view to change the lower threshold for the number of active interfaces.
Step 4 Checking the Link Aggregation Configuration
1. Run the display this command in the Eth-Trunk interface view to check whether the link aggregation mode is consistent. The Eth-Trunk becomes Up only when both ends of the Eth-Trunk use the same link aggregation mode.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] interface eth-trunk 2
[~HUAWEI-Eth-Trunk2] display this
#
interface Eth-Trunk2
mode lacp-static
#
return
− If the remote device is also a Huawei device and the link aggregation mode of the Eth-Trunk is different, run the mode { lacp-static | lacp-dynamic | manual [ load-balance ] } command to change the link aggregation mode.
When the manual load balancing mode is changed to LACP, the mode of the Eth-Trunk is changed successfully after 90s so that services are not affected.
− If the remote device is a non-Huawei device, check the link aggregation modes of both devices based on the following mapping. CE switches are mainly connected to devices of Cisco, Juniper, and H3C. The following describes link aggregation modes when Huawei devices are connected to third-party devices. Check whether the link aggregation modes at both ends are correct.

If a Huawei device still fails to interwork with a Cisco device after the preceding mapping is enabled, configure the no spanning-tree etherchannel guard misconfig command on the Cisco device.

2. Run the display this command in the Eth-Trunk interface view to check whether the lower threshold for the number of active interfaces is set.
<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] interface eth-trunk 2
[~HUAWEI-Eth-Trunk2] display this
#
interface Eth-Trunk2
mode lacp-static
least active-linknumber 2
#
return
When there is the least active-linknumber command configuration, the lower threshold for the number of active interfaces is set. If the number of active interfaces is smaller than the threshold, the Eth-Trunk becomes Down. Check the physical status of member interfaces.
Step 5 Checking Whether Protocol Exchange on Member Interfaces Is Normal
1. When the physical status of member interfaces is normal and LACP is enabled, check whether protocol exchange of member interfaces is normal.
Run the display lacp statistics eth-trunk trunk-id command repeatedly in any view to check whether the statistics on LACPDUs increase.
<HUAWEI> display lacp
statistics eth-trunk 9
Eth-Trunk9's PDU statistics is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10GE2/0/0
16 36
0
0
10GE2/0/7
18 36
0
0
2. When the statistics on LACPDUs increase, if an exception occurs on the interface, check whether packet information is correct.
Run the display eth-trunk trunk-id command in any view to check packets sent by the remote device. Normally, the values of SysPri, SystemID, and PortKey of all member interfaces should be consistent.
<HUAWEI> display eth-trunk 9
Eth-Trunk9's state information is:

If the values of SysPri, SystemID, and PortKey are inconsistent. The possible causes are as follows:
− Eth-Trunk member interfaces are not connected to the same device.
− Rates of Eth-Trunk member interfaces are different.
Check physical connections and ensure that Eth-Trunk member interfaces are connected to the same device, and check the configuration of Eth-Trunk member interfaces and ensure that rates of Eth-Trunk member interfaces are the same.
