C H A P T E R 4 Using the Web Device Manager
NOTE
When configuring link aggregation between two 470 switches, you must connect anchor port to anchor port, and member port to member port.
NOTE
Connectivity is momentarily interrupted when you submit changes.
Link Aggregation
On the Web Device Manager’s switch faceplate graphic, a link aggregation is shown with its ports outlined in magenta (pink).
To create a link aggregation
1Click the Configure Device menu, and then click Link Aggregation.
2Choose the anchor port. Anchor ports are listed by port number in the left column.
3In the Port Width box, click the number of ports (including the anchor port) to include in the link aggregation.
4In the Aggregation Group Name box, type a name for the aggregation.
5Click Enable to activate the group.
6Click Submit.
Static MAC Addresses
The switch has a MAC address table that stores all the MAC addresses that it learns from the network. The switch refers to this table forwarding traffic to specific ports, so it does not broadcast traffic to every port.
There are two ways to add addresses to the MAC address table:
•The switch can learn addresses from the network and add them dynamically. Dynamic entries remain in the table only while the associated node is active, and are deleted if the node is inactive for longer than a certain period of time
