7 Aggregate Port Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure an aggregate port on DGS-3610 series.
7.1 Overview
7.1.1 Understanding Aggregate Port
Multiple physical connections can be bound together and to form a logical connection, which
is called an aggregate port (referred to as AP below). DGS-3610 series provides the devices
with AP function that complies with the IEEE802.3ad standard. This function can be used to
expand the link bandwidth so as to provide higher reliability for connection .
When a member link in the AP is disconnected, the system will automatically allocate the
traffic of the member link to other effective member links in the AP. The broadcast or
multicast packets received at one member link in AP will not be forwarded to other member
links.

7.1.2 Understanding Traffic Balancing
The AP can evenly distribute the traffic to the member links of the AP according to the
characteristic values such as of the source MAC address, destination MAC address, source
