4-2-6. LACP
Smart Web Switch supports link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. The standard describes Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP) which dynamically creates and manages trunk groups.
When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an operational port fails, then one of the “standby” ports become operational without user intervention.
