Shutdown Bring all links in the bundle down to Standby state Minimum-active Set the minimum criteria for the bundle to be active Maximum-active Set a limit on the number of links that can be active Load-balancing Load balancing commands on a bundle RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:PE2(config)# int bundle-ether 200 Instead of a port-channel interface, we do a bundle-ether interface Our interfaces are G0/0/0/11 and G0/1/0/11 on both routers.įirst up though, let’s reset the interfaces back to factory by using the no interface command: So, for this example we will configure Ethernet Bundle 200 using two routers called PE1 and PE2. IOS XE is a little different then IOS as you can choose LACP:Īnd with IOS XR, it is a bit different again. In typical IOS, they would be configured as such: In all honesty, if you use anything other then LACP you are asking for trouble – LACP has prevent many problems when GBICs have gone bad, but the interfaces are still UP/UP.Įtherchannels are also different between IOS and IOS XR. Cisco IOS XR supports 802.3ad (LACP) as well as Cisco proprietary EtherChannel. A bundle also provides you with more bandwidth then might normally be available if using a single interface. If a line card fails, the bundle interface will stay up as you configured it to span more then 1 card. Each bundle has a single MAC, and a single IP address.Īs with some other devices, you can have interfaces in a bundle across multiple line cards, thus protecting yourself from a single point of failure. The different links within a single bundle can have different speeds, where the fastest link can be up to four times faster than the slowest link. With IOS XR a bundle can be considered a group of one or more ports that are aggregated together and treated as one link. Well, time for another IOS XR post, this time on Interface Bundles, particularly Ethernet.
