3.3 Aggregation
The Aggregation is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle more than one port with the same speed,
3.3.1 Static Trunk
Ports using Static Trunk as their trunk method can choose their unique Static GroupID to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using Static Trunk method is that a port can immediately become a member of a trunk group without any handshaking with its peer port. This is also a disadvantage because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not know that they should be aggre- gated together to form a “logic trunked port”. Black Box strongly recommends using Static Trunk on both ends of a link.
NOTE: Low speed links will stay in a “not ready” state when using static trunk to aggregate with high speed links.
