Configuring LACP Settings
Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, LAG) to increase the
bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Or you can use the
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a LAG link
between the switch and another network device. For dynamic LAGs, the switches
have to comply with LACP. This switch supports up to two LAGs. For example, a
LAG consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4
Gbps when operating at full duplex.
