Link Aggregation

Link aggregation allows several ports to be grouped together so that they can act as a single port.

This is done to either increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to increase fault tolerance.

Link Aggregation is most commonly used to link a bandwidth-intensive network device or devices —such as a server or server farm—to the backbone of a network.

You can configure up to six aggregation groups, each using from two to eight ports between any two ZT 8101 switches or other devices that support 802.1ad Link Aggregation.

To configure a link aggregation group

1.From the Main Menu, select Link Aggregation and press Enter.

2.Configure these fields.

Field	Description
Group ID	Specifies one of the six possible link aggregation groups configurable on the
	switch.
