Table 2 ERS 5600 Switch MLT and Hirschmann™ Link Aggregation
Notes
5. When configuring Link Aggregation on Hirschmann™ switches to interoperate with Avaya MLT,
"Allow static link aggregation" must be enabled.
6. Failing an MLT/Link Aggregation port only causes sub-second disruption in traffic.
However, recovering a failed MLT/Link Aggregation port disrupts traffic for 5-6 seconds.
