Link Aggregation Groups
Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port-channels, allow you to
combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the
aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load
sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default
becomes a member of the management VLAN.
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must
participate in the same protocols.
A static port-channel interface does not require a partner
system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member
, it neither
transmits nor receives LACPDUs.
Configure LAG Settings
You can group one or more full-duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form a link
aggregation group, which is also known as a port-channel. The switch treats the LAG as if it
were a single link.
To configure LAG settings:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password.
The default admin user name is
admin and the default admin password is blank, that is,
do not enter a password.
4. Click the Login button.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switching> LAG > LAG Configuration.
6. Use LAG Name to enter the name to be assigned to the LAG.
You can enter any string of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. A valid name must be
specified for you to create the LAG.
7. Use Admin Mode to select Enable or Disable.
