5.6 Dynamic Link Aggregation

The ES-3024 supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that 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

Please note that:

You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for LACP trunking.

LACP only works on full-duplex links.

All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow control settings.

Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network topology loops.

5.7 802.1X Authentication

See the Port Setup chapter for more information on 802.1x authentication.
