2-6 Aggregation
The Aggregation is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle
more than one port with the same speed, full duplex and the same MAC to be a single
logical port, thus the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means
you can apply your current Ethernet equipment’s to build the bandwidth aggregation.
For example, if there are three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then
this logical port has bandwidth three times as high as a single Fast Ethernet port has.
2-6.1 Static
Ports using Static Trunk as their trunk method can choose their unique Static GroupID
to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using Static Trunk method is that a port
can immediately become a member of a trunk group without any handshaking with its
peer port. This is also a disadvantage because the peer ports of your static trunk group
may not know that they should be aggregate together to form a “logic trunked port”.
Using Static Trunk on both end of a link is strongly recommended. Please also note
that low speed links will stay in “not ready” state when using static trunk to aggregate
with high speed links.
Web Interface
To configure the Trunk Aggregation Hash mode and Aggregation Group in the web
interface:
1. Click Configuration, Aggregation, Static and then Aggregation Mode Configuration.
2. Evoke to enable or disable the aggregation mode function.
Evoke Aggregation Group ID and Port members
3. Click the save to save the setting
4. If you want to cancel the setting then you need to click the reset button. It
will revert to previously saved values.
