61.4 Link Ag g re g a tio n Se tting
Use the Link Ag g re g a tio n Se tting screen to enable static link. Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping
of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is
cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port
link. However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is
one logical link containing multiple ports.

Criteria This shows the outgoing traffic distribution algorithm used in this trunk group. Packets from the
same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk.
src - ma c means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
dst- m a c means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC address.
src - dst- m a c means the Switch distributes traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source
and destination MAC addresses.
src - ip means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet’s source IP address.
dst- ip means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet’s destination IP address.
src - dst- ip means the Switch distributes traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source
and destination IP addresses.
Status This field displays how these ports were added to the trunk group. It displays:
• Sta tic – if the ports are configured as static members of a trunk group.
• LAC P – if the ports are configured to join a trunk group through LACP.
