EXPANDING MEMBER PORTS OF A LINK AGGREGATION GROUP BETWEEN CLUSTERS

摘要

According to an example, in a method and an apparatus for expanding member ports of a link aggregation group between clusters, each apparatus in a cluster receives a port joining link aggregation group message sent by a master control board on a master apparatus in the cluster. In response to an apparatus determining that a newly joined port is a port on the apparatus itself and also is the first member port in the link aggregation group of the cluster, the newly joined port is associated with the link aggregation group. By applying the method and the apparatus for expanding member ports of a link aggregation group between clusters in this manner, according to an example, the number of member links in the link aggregation group between clusters is able to be increased, and the robustness of the network interconnection between clusters is also able to be enhanced.

1. A method for expanding member ports of a link aggregation group between clusters, comprising:
receiving, by each apparatus in a cluster of apparatuses, a port joining link aggregation group message sent by a master control board on a master apparatus in the cluster; and associating a newly joined port with the link aggregation group in response to any of the apparatuses determining that the newly joined port is a port on the apparatus itself and also is a first member port in the link aggregation group of the cluster.
