Defining LAG Membership

The LAG Membership page contains fields for assigning ports to LAGs. LAGs can include up to 6 ports. When a port is added to a LAG, the port acquires the LAG’s properties. If the port cannot be configured with the LAG properties, a trap is generated and the port operates with its default settings.

The LAG Membership page contains fields for assigning ports to LAGs. To open the LAG Membership page, click SwitchLink AggregationLAG Membership in the tree view.

Multicast Forwarding Support

Multicast forwarding allows a single packet to be forwarded to multiple destinations. L2 Multicast service is based on L2 switch receiving a single packet addressed to a specific Multicast address. Multicast forwarding creates copies of the packet, and transmits the packets to the relevant ports.

Filtering L2 Multicast packets enables forwarding of Layer 2 packets to interfaces. If Multicast filtering is disabled, Multicast packets are flooded to all relevant ports. Forwarding L2 Multicast packets is enabled by default, and not configurable. The system supports Multicast filtering for 64 Multicast groups.

To open the Multicast Support page, click SwitchMulticast Support in the tree view.
