7 | AGGREGATING PORTS |
|
This section contains information for configuring Link Aggregation, which optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single LAG. A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) aggregates ports or VLANs into a single virtual port or VLAN. Aggregating ports multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases port flexibility, and provides link redundancy. Ensure the following:
■All ports within a LAG must be the same media type.
■All ports added to an existing LAG which are part of a tagged VLAN inherit the existing VLAN tags.
■
■The port is in
■All ports in the LAG have the same ingress filtering and tagged modes.
■All ports in the LAG have the same back pressure and flow control modes.
■All ports in the LAG have the same priority.
■All ports in the LAG have the same transceiver type.
■The device supports up to eight LAGs, and eight ports in each LAG.
■Ports added to a LAG lose their individual port configuration. When ports are removed from the LAG, the original port configuration is applied to the ports.
