Configuring an aggregation group
This section explains how to configure an aggregation group.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure an aggregation group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• Table 5 sh
ows the interfaces that cannot be assigned to a Layer 2 aggregation group.

Interface type Reference
Interface configured with MAC
authentication
MAC authentication in Security Configuration Guide
Interface configured with port security Port security in Security Configuration Guide
Interface configured with 802.1X 802.1X in Security Configuration Guide
• Do not assign a reflector port for port mirroring to an aggregation group. For more information
about reflector ports, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
• Deleting an aggregate interface also deletes its aggregation group and causes all member
ports to leave the aggregation group.
• You must configure the same aggregation mode on the two ends of an aggregate link.
• For a successful static aggregation, make sure the ports at both ends of each link are in the
same aggregation state.
• For a successful dynamic aggregation, make sure the peer ports of the ports aggregated at one
end are also aggregated. The two ends can automatically negotiate the aggregation state of
each member port.
