Port Management > Link Aggregation
You can create multiple links between devices that work
as one virtual, aggregate link. This is known as a Link
Aggregrated Group (LAG). LAGs offers a dramatic increase
in bandwidth for network segments where bottlenecks
exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two
devices. You can create up to eight LAGs on the Switch.
Each LAG can contain up to eight ports.
LAG The LAG number (1-8).
Description The user-defined description for the LAG.
Admin Status The administrative status of the interface.
To change the status, select Up to enable the interface, or
select Down to disable it.
Type Indicates if a LAG has been manually configured
(static) or dynamically set through LACP.
Link Status Displays the status of the link.
Speed Displays the port speed.
Duplex Displays the duplex mode.
Flow Control Displays the flow control.
LAG Mode Displays the LAG mode.
Detail To create a new LAG, click Detail in the Detail
column to display the Link Aggregation detail screen.
LAG Configuration
The Link Aggregation detail screen lets you configure a
LAG. You can create a LAG, select its ports, enable/disable
the LAG, and set the capability advertisements, speed,
duplex mode, and flow control. To use this screen, click
Detail on the Port Settings screen.
