Aggregated Links 27
aggregated link traffic to the remaining ports. Aggregated links therefore 
provide built-in resilience for your network.
The Switch also has a mechanism to prevent the possible occurrence of 
packet re-ordering when a link recovers too soon after a failure.

Example
The example shown in Figure 3
 illustrates a 2 Gbps aggregated link 
between two Switch units, (that is, each port is operating at 1000 Mbps, 
full duplex).

To manually set up this configuration:
1 Prepare ports 5 and 7 on the core Switch for aggregated links. To do this:
a Check that the ports have an identical configuration using your 
preferred management interface.
b Add the ports 5 and 7 on the specified unit to the aggregated link.
2 Prepare ports 25 and 26 on the Switch 3226 (or ports 49 and 50 if you 
are configuring a Switch 3250) for aggregated links. To do this:
a Check that the ports have an identical configuration using your 
preferred management interface.
b Add the ports 25 and 26 on the Switch 3226 (or ports 49 and 50 if 
you are configuring a Switch 3250) to the aggregated link.
