14. From the Flow Control menu, select one of the following options:
• Disable. The switch cannot receive pause frames for the port nor does it send pause
frames if incoming traffic on the port is congested (that is, the port buffers are full).
This the default setting.
• Symmetric. The switch can send and receive pause frames for the port. If incoming
traffic on the port is congested, the switch generates pause frames and sends them to
the peer. The switch can also adjust the transmission rate on the port in response to
incoming pause frames.
• Asymmetric. The switch can receive pause frames for the port but does not send
pause frames if incoming traffic on the port is congested. The switch can adjust the
transmission rate on the port in response to incoming pause frames.
15. Click the Apply button.
The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect
immediately.
The following table describes the nonconfigurable data that is displayed.
Configure 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 default management VLAN (that is, VLAN 1).
