168 CHAPTER 19: LINK AGGREGATION CONFIGURATION
■ To make an aggregation group to function properly, make sure the selected 
states of the ports on the both sides of the same link are the same.
Configuring a Static
LACP Link Aggregation
Group
Follow these steps to configure a static aggregation group:
n
■ You can create a static aggregation group by changing the type of an existing 
manual link aggregation group that contains no port.
■ An aggregation group cannot contain the following ports: RRPP-enabled ports, 
ports configured with static MAC addresses or black hole MAC addresses, 
voice VLAN-enabled ports, or 802.1x-enabled ports.
■ After you remove a static aggregation group, all the ports in the group are 
dismissed from it, and LACP is disabled on the ports.
■ For a static LACP aggregation group containing only one port, the only way to 
remove the port from the aggregation group is to remove the aggregation 
group.
n
When making configuration, be aware that after a load-balancing aggregation 
group changes to a non-load balancing group due to resources exhaustion, either 
of the following may happen
■ Forwarding anomaly resulted from inconsistency of the two ends in the 
number of selected ports.
■ Some protocols such as GVRP malfunction because the state of the remote 
port connected to the master port is unselected.
