Huijue Aggregation Layer Switch Configuration

Configuring a Huijue aggregation switch involves setting up management VLANs, linking the switch to a controller, and creating aggregated ports for bandwidth and redundancy. Step 1: Prepare Management and Controller AccessConnect the switch to the core network and ensure it can reach the management subnet. Configure the core switch as the management subnet gateway for the aggregation switch.

Enable management VLAN auto-negotiation on the core switch to allow plug-and-play online access for the aggregation switch. Set up DHCP or static IP addresses for the aggregation switch. For example, assign a static range like 192.

168. 100. 1–192.

168. 100. 100 and configure the gateway IP (e.g., 192.

168. 100. 254) on the core switch.

Enable controller address auto-negotiation if using iMaster NCE-Campus or a similar network controller to manage the switch. Step 2: Configure Aggregated PortsIdentify the physical ports to be aggregated. Aggregation ports (AP) combine multiple physical links into a single logical link to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy.

Choose aggregation mode: Static (ON mode): Ports are manually grouped; no LACP negotiation is required. Dynamic (Active/Passive LACP mode): Ports negotiate automatically with the peer device using LACP. Enter interface configuration mode on the switch and assign ports to an aggregation group: CodeCopyinterface GigabitEthernet 0/1port link-aggregation group 1 mode on Replace 0/1 with the actual port number and 1 with the aggregation group ID.

Configure load balancing to distribute traffic across member links. Options include source MAC, destination MAC, or source-destination IP address modes. Verify aggregation by checking the logical interface status.

Ensure all member links are active and synchronized. Step 3: Configure VLANs and TrunkingSet the aggregation port as a trunk if it connects to another switch or router: CodeCopyport link-type trunkport trunk permit vlan 1,10,20 Assign a native VLAN if required (e.g., VLAN1) and ensure consistency across all member ports.

Ensure ST

P settings (priority, cost) are consistent across aggregated ports to prevent loops. Step 4: Save and Test ConfigurationSave the configuration to make it persistent: CodeCopysave Test connectivity by sending traffic across the aggregated link and verifying load balancing and failover behavior. Monitor the switch for any err-disabled ports or link failures and adjust aggregation settings if necessary.

Step 5: Optional Advanced SettingsQSFP breakout configuration: For high-speed ports, you can split a single 100G interface into multiple 25G or 10G logical interfaces if supported by your model. Controller integration: For large deployments, import device and Eth-Trunk information into the network controller to automate online provisioning and link detection. By following these steps, a Huijue aggregation switch can be effectively configured for high bandwidth, redundancy, and centralized management, ensuring reliable network performance.
