Tag :: Port Channel

This document describes BFD RFC7130 mode on EOS. RFC7130 defines a mechanism to run BFD protocol over port channels with an independent asynchronous BFD session on every port channel member link. With RFC7130 support, the port channel member link will be removed from forwarding if the BFD session state transitions from UP to DOWN on the member link. This is useful for quickly detecting failures where L1 stays connected but the interface is unable to forward traffic.

Switches can now use two LAG partitions (A and B) to support double the number of available Port Channels dictated by the chosen LAG mode. This is useful if the selected LAG mode does not allow the creation of the desired number of Port Channels on a single partition.

On supported devices, a port-channel can be configured as a mirroring destination for both ingress and egress source directions. Traffic mirrored to a port-channel is load-balanced based on the global port-channel load-balance configuration, which is the same for other port-channels.

Starting with the 4.26.1F release, EOS supports active mixed speed members in a port channel, allowing different

Starting from 4.26.10F release, for LACP and static port channels, EOS will support minimum speed configuration,
