Default Settings and Configuration
By default, ports are not members of a LAG and are not candidates to become part of a LAG.
Static and Dynamic LAG Workflow
After a LAG has been manually created, LACP cannot be added or removed until the LAG is 
edited and a member is removed. Only then the LACP button become available for editing.
To configure a static LAG, perform the following actions: 
1. Disable LACP on the LAG to make it static.   Assign up to eight member ports to the static 
LAG by selecting and moving the ports from the Port List to the LAG Members list. 
Select the load balancing algorithm for the LAG. Perform these actions in the LAG 
Management page.
2. Configure various aspects of the LAG, such as speed and flow control by using the LAG 
Settings page.
To configure a dynamic LAG, perform the following actions:
1. Enable LACP on the LAG.   Assign up to 16 candidates ports to the dynamic LAG by 
selecting and moving the ports from the Port List to the LAG Members List by using the 
LAG Management page.
2. Configure various aspects of the LAG, such as speed and flow control by using the LAG 
Settings page.
3. Set the LACP priority and timeout of the ports in the LAG by using the LACP page.
LAG Management
The LAG Management page displays the global and per LAG settings. The page also enables 
you to configure the global setting and to select and edit the desired LAG on the Edit LAG 
Membership page. 
To select the load balancing algorithm of the LAG:
STEP 1 Click Port Management > Link Aggregation > LAG Management.
STEP  2 Select one of the following Load Balance Algorithm:
• MAC Address—Perform load balancing by source and destination MAC addresses on 
all packets.
• IP/MAC Address—Perform load balancing by the source and destination IP addresses 
on IP packets, and by the source and destination MAC addresses on non-IP packets
