Table 8 Link Aggregation
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Link Aggregation
Link Aggregation
Algorithm
Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the same
destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses the MAC SA
& DA distribution type. If the Switch is behind a router, the packet’s destination or source MAC
address will be changed. In this case, set the Switch to distribute traffic based on its IP address
to make sure port trunking can work properly.
Select MAC SA to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
Select MAC DA to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC address.
Select MAC SA & DA to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and
destination MAC addresses.
Link Aggregation
Group
The field identifies the default link aggregation group(s) the Switch supports. Select which link
aggregation group supports your choice in the previous field Link Aggregation Algorithm. For
example, enabling LAG 1: Port 1 and Port 2 and Port 3 and Port 4 will allow packets from the
same source and/or to the same destination to go through ports 1~4 for a maximum
throughput of 8 Gbps. This allows for faster speed compared to passing packets through ports
1~4 individually (maximum 2 Gbps).
Note: The Switch has a link aggregation group containing ports 1 ~ 4, ports 5 and 6,
ports 7 and 8, and the other contains ports 9 and 10.
Note: Make sure the ports in a link aggregation group have the same PVID and
VLAN ID.
