Chapter 3 Manage the Switch via the Device Manager Web Interface
See the Device Manager Web interface online help for additional guidelines and
procedures.
All ports in an EtherChannel must have the same characteristics.
• All are either 10/100 ports, or all are 10/100/1000 ports.
You cannot group a mix of 10/100 and 10/100/1000 ports in an
EtherChannel.
• All have the same speed and Duplex mode settings.
A mismatch in speed or duplex disables the EtherChannel.
• All are enabled.
A disabled port in an EtherChannel is treated as a link failure, and its
traffic is transferred to one of the remaining ports in the EtherChannel.
• All are applied with the Smartports Switch for Automation port role and
belong to the same VLAN.
