4 Link Aggregation 
4.1 Overview 
Link Aggregation means that multiple physical ports are aggregated to a logical group. At 
the same group, multiple physical links are regarded as one logical link. Link Aggregation 
makes  the  load  sharing  among  the  ports  of  the  aggregation  group  possible,  which  will 
expand the bandwidth. Meanwhile, the dynamic replication exits among the  ports of the 
same aggregation group, which will improve the link reliability. 
At the same group, all ports settings shall be accordant, including STP, VLAN, Address 
Leaning and Port Management. Detailed specifications are as below: 
  At  the  same  group,  the  STP  (State,  Priority,  and  Path  Cost),  VLAN  (PVID,  Tag 
Processing  Policy)  and  Port  (Enable/Disable  status,  Speed/Duplex,  Priority,  Flow 
Control, Storm Control, Address Learning) shall be consistent in configuration. 
  For the ports at the  aggregation group, following function settings are not available: 
Static Port MAC Address Binding, Mirroring Destination Port. 
  The  port  which  has  enabled  the  mirroring  destination  port  (set  as  the  mirroring 
destination port) is not allowed to join the aggregation group.
