Link aggregation and LACP configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in a, Switch A and Switch B are connected to each other through their Layer 2 Ethernet ports GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/3.

Aggregate the ports on each device to form a link aggregation group, thus balancing incoming/outgoing traffic across the member ports.
