Set Up Link Aggregation
Link aggregation groups (LAGs) allow you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network
devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and load sharing.
Configure LAG membership before you enable the LAG.
The switch supports both static link aggregation (port trunking) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
groups through IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation.
The switch can support eight LAGs.
Set up link aggregation in the following order:
1. Set up the LAG on the switch.
2. Connect the ports that you made members of the LAG on the switch to the ports that are members of
a LAG on another device in your network.
For more information, see the following sections:
• Set Up a Static Link Aggregation Group on page 46
• Set Up a Link Aggregation Control Protocol Group on page 47
• Set Up the LACP System Priority for the Switch on page 48
• Set Up LACP Port Priority and Time-Out Values on page 49
Set Up a Static Link Aggregation Group
The switch can support eight LAGs, which can be a combination of static link aggregation and LACP groups.
You must set up LAG membership before you can enable LAGs.
To specify LAG membership for a static LAG and enable a static LAG:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
