LAG Broadcast Control You can protect your network from broadcast storms by setting a threshold for broadcast traffic for all LAGs.. Any broadcast packets exceeding the specified threshold will then be dropped..
Status Click the checkbox to enable LAG Broadcast Control..
Threshold Set the threshold for the LAG, click apply.. Delete To delete a LAG, click the Delete button..
Port Management > LACP
Ports can be statically grouped into an aggregate link (that is, LAG) to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery.. Or you can use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to automatically negotiate a LAG link between the Switch and another network device.. For static LAGs, the switches have to comply with the Cisco EtherChannel standard.. For dynamic LAGs, the switches have to comply with LACP.. This Switch supports up to four LAGs.. For example, a LAG consisting of two 1000 Mbps ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbps when operating at full duplex..
To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP..
Port Management > LACP
