LACP Configuration on FS S3900 Series Switches

Posted on September 27, 2019 By FS.COM

  

In networking, the LACP (link aggregation control protocol) technology is used to increase the bandwidth of a single connection and provide redundancy in case one of the links fails. FS S3900 series switches, designed for the campus network, SMB, and home network, also support LACP.

LACP Application on FS S3900 Series Switches

Take LACP application between S3900 series switches and S5800-8TF12S as an example. The combining two links enable a load-balancing mode between S3900-48T4S and S5800-8TF12S switches to provide the network reliability. By applying LACP, the two 10G network links are physically bundled together to form a single 20G data path with its logical bandwidth increased. When one link fails, the LACP will lead the data packet to be transferred in the remaining link.

Hardware Connection Guide for LACP of S3900 Series Switches

FS S3900 series switches consist of S3900-24T4S, S3900-24F4S, and S3900-48T4S. Typically, the three switches can support three types of connection to do LACP: copper-to-copper, 1G-1G, and 10G-to-10G. In the following figure, the detailed connections of these three ways are shown.

FS S3900 Switch Hardware Connection Guide.png

Note：

Theoretically, any LACP link group can be formed by links with different transmission media and data rate. But when links with different data rates have to be connected as one aggregation group, please remember to manually limit the higher data rate to the lowest one.
FS S3900-series switches allow for the maximum of 26 aggregation link groups between two switches. As for a single LACP connection group, the S3900-48T4S switch type enables a maximum of 52 ports to be bundled together; while the S3900-24T4S and S3900-24F4S can accommodate no more than 28 ports together. Notably, every LACP link group of S3900 series switches can only have 8 active ports to work at the same time, while the remaining ports can only do back-up. Only if the active port fails down, can the back-up port join the active group to work.
If you need to do LACP for S3900-series switches with other devices, please make sure the other devices also support LACP, otherwise the LACP link can not be set up.

LACP Configuration Roadmap of S3900 Series Switches

The LACP configuration can achieve two types of link aggregation groups (LAGs): dynamic LAGs and static LAGs. The former negotiate settings between the two connected devices, which is suggested to be used between FS S3900 series switches. The static one, also known as manual, is suggested to be applied between S3900 series switches and switches of a different brand or other types of devices like routers.

The following will demonstrate the detailed configuration process of LACP links between S3900-24F4S and S3900-48T4S. The configuration of dynamic and static LACP on S3900 series switches can be achieved via both CLI and web interface methods. And the configuration roadmaps are all the same as the following:

Add member interfaces to the channel-group.
Set the LACP system priority and determine the Actor so that the Partner selects active interfaces based on the Actor interface priority.
Set the upper threshold for the number of active interfaces to improve reliability. (This step is only optionally applied in CLI dynamic configuration commands.)
Set LACP interface priorities and determine active interfaces so that interfaces with higher priorities are selected as active interfaces. (This step is only optionally applied in CLI dynamic configuration commands.)
Create VLANs and add interfaces to the VLANs. (This step is only optionally applied in CLI dynamic configuration commands.)
Verify LACP configuration.

Q:
After the S3900 switches are stacked, the device has lost the stacking port. What is the reason? By henson on June 19, 2020

A:
After the S3900 switch is successfully stacked and you check the port status through the commands, the two stacking ports of the device will disappear which is a normal situation. It is mainly to prevent misoperation. Please don't worry. By FS on June 19, 2020
Q:
Why is the calendar set time of the switch restored after restarting? By Emoef on June 18, 2020

A:
The time of calendar set is not saved in the configuration file so it will not continue counting after the device is turned off. It is recommended to use the ntp service to synchronize the system time, so that after the switch restarts, you only need to set the next restart time, and don‘t need to set the system time again. By FS on June 18, 2020
Q:
When multiple S3900 switches are stacked, one of them will go down. Will it affect the normal operation of other switches? By Soucie on June 16, 2020

A:
If the master is down, it will re-elect, the election process is the same as the first stack. If it is a slave downtime, there will be no impact. By FS on June 16, 2020
Q:
Can the stacking and LACP functions of the S3900 be used together? By Helfer on June 15, 2020

A:
Yes, after the S3900 switches are stacked, they are logically one device and can implement LACP with other devices. By FS on June 15, 2020
Q:
Hello, why do I fail to upload firmware to the S3900 switch when upgrading the switch? By Dennis Haislip on June 12, 2020

A:
The S3900 series switches only support a maximum of 2 firmwares. Please use the command dir to check whether there are currently two firmwares. If so, you need to delete one and add the new one. If there is only one, please check whether the firmware is damaged. It is recommended to download and install again. By FS on June 12, 2020
Q:
Does the S3900 switch support https import certificates? By Shuford on June 11, 2020

A:
Yes, but there are some requirements for the size of the certificate, the maximum is 5KB and the key is 2KB. By FS on June 11, 2020
Q:
When configuring QinQ, how many QinQ can be configured for each port? By Jimmina on June 10, 2020

A:
The S3900 series are the access layer switches, which have certain restrictions on the hardware, so the maximum entry for QinQ is 24 per port. By FS on June 10, 2020
Q:
I'm currently evaluating your products for our own infrastructure. I think that your S3900-24T4S could be a good solution for our needs. I need 8 switch to popolate our racks and providing access connectivity to our servers. The main issue is that I also need 2 core switch for connecting the access layer each other and uplink to the network perimeter. I've not found in your catalog a switch model that couldd be used for this scope.We have in plan to upgrade the network with more advanced features in the next future so, for now, I'm investigating the market for an affordable solution. I'm evaluating ubiquity products becaue this vendor has a 12 SFP+ ports available in its catalogue. By Popovich on June 9, 2020

A:
Hello, i see you need a solution for your network; our tech and salers can help you design your whole network solution with best quality and price. And we recommend the S3900-24T4S for you to connect to the server. The function of the core switch is more abundant than that of the access layer switch. So as for the core switch, we recommend S5800-8TF12S for the core switch. By FS on June 9, 2020
Q:
Does the QinQ function of S3900 series switches support no vlan tags or add double vlan tags? By Jamange on June 9, 2020
