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
