Example of LAGs in the Same Failover Group
DellEMC#config
DellEMC(conf)#port-channel failover-group
DellEMC(conf-po-failover-grp)#group 1 port-channel 1 port-channel 2
To view the failover group conguration, use the show running-configuration po-failover-group command.
DellEMC#show running-config po-failover-group

port-channel failover-group
group 1 port-channel 1 port-channel 2
As shown in the following illustration, LAGs 1 and 2 are members of a failover group. LAG 1 fails and LAG 2 is brought down after the failure.
This eect is logged by Message 1, in which a console message declares both LAGs down at the same time.
Figure 54. Conguring Shared LAG State Tracking
The following are shared LAG state tracking console messages:
• 2d1h45m: %RPM0-P:CP %IFMGR-5-OSTATE_DN: Changed interface state to down: Po 1
• 2d1h45m: %RPM0-P:CP %IFMGR-5-OSTATE_DN: Changed interface state to down: Po 2
To view the status of a failover group member, use the show interface port-channel command.
DellEMC#show interface port-channel 2
Port-channel 2 is up, line protocol is down (Failover-group 1 is down)
Hardware address is 00:01:e8:05:e8:4c, Current address is 00:01:e8:05:e8:4c

Minimum number of links to bring Port-channel up is 1
Port-channel is part of failover-group 1

NOTE
: The set of console messages shown above appear only if you congure shared LAG state tracking on that router (you can
congure the feature on one or both sides of a link). For example, as previously shown, if you congured shared LAG state
tracking on R2 only, no messages appear on R4 regarding the state of LAGs in a failover group.
