• Default Settings and Configuration
• Static and Dynamic LAG Workflow

• Configuring LACP
Link Aggregation Overview
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of the IEEE specification (802.3az)
that enables you to bundle several physical ports together to form a single logical
channel (LAG). LAGs multiply the bandwidth, increase port flexibility, and provide
link redundancy between two devices.
Two types of LAGs are supported:
• Static—A LAG is static if LACP is disabled on it. The group of ports
assigned to a static LAG are always active members. After a LAG is manually
created, the LACP option cannot be added or removed, until the LAG is
edited and a member is removed (which can be added back prior to
applying), the LACP button then become available for editing.
• Dynamic—A LAG is dynamic if LACP is enabled on it. The group of ports
assigned to dynamic LAG are candidate ports. LACP determines which
candidate ports are active member ports. The non-active candidate ports
are standby ports ready to replace any failing active member ports.
