Chapter 2 Link Aggregation Configuration
2.1 Link Aggregation Overview
Link aggregation means aggregating several ports together to implement the
outgoing/incoming payload balance among the member ports and enhance the
connection reliability.
An S3526 Ethernet Switch supports at most four aggregated groups, with each group
containing a maximum of eight fixed ports or two extended ports. The starting port of an
aggregated group can only be Ethernet0/1, Ethernet0/9, Ethernet0/17 or
Gigabitethernet1/1 and the port numbers in a group must be consecutive.
An S3526E/S3526C Ethernet Switch supports at most six aggregated groups, with
each group containing a maximum of eight fixed ports or two extended ports. The port
numbers in a group must be consecutive, but no special restrictions on the starting port.
An S3526 FM/S3526 FS Ethernet Switch supports at most four aggregated groups,
with each group containing a maximum of eight ports. The starting port of an
aggregated group can only be Ethernet0/1, Ethernet0/9, Ethernet1/5 or
Gigabitethernet3/1, and the port numbers in a group and on the same slot must be
consecutive. If a group contains the ports on two slots, those on the same slots and slot
numbers must be consecutive, and the starting port must be the first port on the second
slot.
An S3552G/S3552P/S3528G/S3528P/S3552F Ethernet Switch supports at most
seven aggregated groups, with each group containing a maximum of eight ports.
1000M port and 100M port can not be in the same aggregation group. The port
numbers in a group must be consecutive, but no special restrictions on the starting port.
In a link aggregation group, the port with the smallest number serves as the master port,
and the others serve as member ports. In one link aggregation group, the link type of
the master port and the member ports must be identical. That is, the master port and
the member ports should be in Trunk mode together, or be in Access mode together.

2.2.1 Aggregate Ethernet Ports
The following command can be used for aggregating Ethernet ports or removing a
configured link aggregation.
