z  If the aggregation group you are creating already exists and contains ports, the possible type 
changes may be: changing from dynamic or static to manual, and changing from dynamic to static; 
and no other kinds of type change can occur. 
z  When you change a dynamic/static group to a manual group, the system will automatically disable 
LACP on the member ports. When you change a dynamic group to a static group, the system will 
remain the member ports LACP-enabled. 
3)  When a manual or static aggregation group contains only one port, you cannot remove the port 
unless you remove the whole aggregation group. 
Configuring a Static LACP Aggregation Group 
You can create a static LACP aggregation group, or remove an existing static LACP aggregation group 
(after that, the system will re-aggregate the original member ports in the group to form one or multiple 
dynamic aggregation groups.). 
For a static aggregation group, a port can only be manually added/removed to/from the static 
aggregation group. 
 
 
When you add an LACP-enabled port to a manual aggregation group, the system will automatically 
disable LACP on the port. Similarly, when you add an LACP-disabled port to a static aggregation group, 
the system will automatically enable LACP on the port.

For a static LACP aggregation group or a manual aggregation group, you are recommended not to 
cross cables between the two devices at the two ends of the aggregation group. For example, suppose 
port 1 of the local device is connected to port 2 of the peer device. To avoid cross-connecting cables, do 
not connect port 2 of the local device to port 1 of the peer device. Otherwise, packets may be lost.
