This section provides information for the Extreme Black Diamond, 7i, and 400-48t switches.

NOTE: This switch only supports 100/1000 speeds; it does not support 10 Mb/s speeds. Therefore, you will not be able to test a card with this setting. The speeds are stated on the back of the switch itself.

To configure jumbo frames on all ports, enter:

enable jumbo-frame ports all

To verify all ports, enter:

show ports info

Configuring LACP Link Aggregates

ExtremeWare v. 7.5 enables you to configure LACP. Use contiguous ports and let the first port be the master. In the following command, port 23 is the master port:

enable sharing 23 grouping 23-27 dynamic

Then, display the aggregation using the show ports sharing command as follows:

Switch2 # show ports 23-27 sharing
Load Sharing Monitor
Config    Current    Ld Share    Ld Share   Link     Link
