  • network port ifgrp create

    Create a port interface group

    Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the admin privilege level.

    Description

    The network port ifgrp create command creates a port interface group. See the documentation for the network port ifgrp add-port command for a list of restrictions on creating port interface groups.

    Parameters

    -node {<nodename>|local} - Node

    The node on which the port interface group will be created.

    -ifgrp <ifgrp name> - Interface Group Name

    The name of the port interface group that will be created. Port interface groups must be named using the syntax "a<number><letter>", where <number> is an integer in the range [0-999] without leading zeros and <letter> is a lowercase letter. For example, "a0a", "a0b", "a1c", and "a2a" are all valid port interface group names.

    -distr-func {mac|ip|sequential|port} - Distribution Function

    The distribution function of the port interface group that will be created. Valid values are:

    • mac - Network traffic is distributed based on MAC addresses

    • ip - Network traffic is distributed based on IP addresses

    • sequential - Network traffic is distributed in round-robin fashion from the list of configured, available ports

    • port - Network traffic is distributed based on the transport layer (TCP/UDP) ports

    -mode {multimode|multimode_lacp|singlemode} - Create Policy

    The create policy for the interface group that will be created. Valid values are:

    • multimode - Bundle multiple member ports of the interface group to act as a single trunked port

    • multimode_lacp - Bundle multiple member ports of the interface group using Link Aggregation Control Protocol

    • singlemode - Provide port redundancy using member ports of the interface group for failover

    Examples

    The following example creates a port interface group named a0a on node node0 with a distribution function of ip:

    cluster1::> network port ifgrp create -node node0 -ifgrp a0a -distr-func ip -mode multimode
