Chapter 4: Basic Concepts and Management
There are also some constraints when applying LACP:
1.LACP does not support
2.The ports aggregated must operate in
3.The ports in the same Link Aggregation Group must operate at the same speed, for example, all 100 Mbps or all 1000 Mbps. You cannot aggregate a 1000 Mbps port and two 100 Mbps ports for a 1.2 Gbps trunk port.
Terminology
Link Aggregation enables multiple physical links with the same media and speed to be bundled as a logical link forming a Link Aggregation Group with a group ID. From the viewpoint of MAC clients, each Link Aggregation Group is an independent link.
Links in a network can be
Link Aggregation, sometimes called port trunking, uses two types of link configuration: static port trunk and dynamic port trunk.
•Static Port Trunk: When physical links are changed, the administrator needs to manually configure the switches one by one.
•Dynamic Port Trunk: When physical links are changed, LACP takes over and automatically reconfigure. The administrator does not have to do anything and will see the trap message of LACP changed in NMS.
