z/VM Virtual Networking Link Aggregation - Create port group


The SET PORT group command is used to define the OSA-Express ports (devices) from the z/VM side that will make up the link aggregation group. A port group will be associated with a VSWITCH using the DEFINE or SET VSWITCH command.

  • SET PORT GROUP CISCO1 JOIN 9C00 9D00
  • Note that the entire OSA-Express2 port is required to be exclusively used for the port group member (although CP will only use the triplets starting at 9C00 and 9D00 for this example).

    The port group defaults are taken for LACP mode (LACP Active) and the load balancing interval (300 seconds).
