GUIDE
Configuring Link
Aggregation
Link aggregation aggregates multiple ports into one logical link, also called an
aggregation group.
Link aggregation allows you to increase bandwidth by distributing
incoming/outgoing traffic on the member ports in the aggregation group. In
addition, it provides reliable connectivity because these member ports can
dynamically back up each other.

Requirements
Aggregate Ethernet 1/0/1 through 1/0/3 on Switch A into an aggregation group
and connect the group to Switch B to balance incoming/outgoing traffic among
the member ports.
The example will show you how to configure link aggregation in different
aggregation modes.
