5.4.5 Trunking
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for:
a. exchanging information between partner systems on a link, to allow their Link
Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link
Aggregation Group to which the link belongs,
b. moving the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and
c. enabling its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner.
Link aggregation allows you to group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated
connection. This feature can expand bandwidth for other devices on the network. LACP
operation requires full-duplex mode. Please refer to the IEEE 802.3ad specifications formore
details.
