Add LACP Interface and VLAN via CLI in Windows 2019 Core

Posted on by Jordansphere

In this guide I will show you to create an LACP bond and then a VLAN using this bond as a parent. I will bonding 2 x 25Gb interfaces (VIC-MLOM-eth0 and VIC-MLOM-eth1) which are being passed through via Cisco C220 M5 rackmount blade

In Powershell :

Get-NetAdapter

The above shows the two NIC names im interested in. Please only 1 of them is up at the moment so I’m expected to see a degraded LACP state later/

Create the bond (called storage in my case)

New-NetLbfoTeam -Name Storage -TeamMembers VIC-MLOM-eth0,VIC-MLOM-eth1 -TeamingMode LACP

Show LB info

Get-NetLbfoTeam

Use the following command to display the new name

Get-NetIPConfiguration

Create VLAN 419 on Storage interface


Add-NetLbfoTeamNic -Team "Storage" -vlanid 419

Set IP address to VLAN

New-NetIPAddress -IPAddress 10.9.34.196 -PrefixLength 26 -interfacealias "Storage - Vlan 419"

Check the IP has been assigned correctly by 

ipconfig
