DES-3326S Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Figure 5-5. Link Aggregation Group

Data transmitted to a specific host (destination address) will always be transmitted over the same port in a link aggregation group. This allows packets in a data stream to arrive in the same order they were sent. A aggregated link connection can be made with any other switch that maintains host-to-host data streams over a single link aggregate port. Switches that use a load-balancing scheme that sends the packets of a host-to-host data stream over multiple link aggregation ports cannot have a aggregated connection with the DES-3326S switch.
