Enabling PXE boot support on a port

  • The port should be an edge port on which you have not configured protocols such as STP, MRP, and UDLD.
  • The dynamic LAG should be in an undeployed state.
You can configure the member port of a dynamic LAG to be logically operational even when the dynamic LAG is not operating. This enables PXE boot support on this port.
NOTE
You can enable PXE boot support on only one member port of a dynamic LAG.
Run the force-up ethernet command in dynamic LAG configuration mode.

The following example shows PXE boot support enabled on member port 3/1/1 of a dynamic LAG R4-dyn.

Brocade(config)# lag R4-dyn
Brocade(config-lag-R4-dyn)# force-up ethernet 3/1/1
