Chapter 14 Switch Configuration
14.4.1 Dynamic Link AggregationThis feature is not available on all models.
The switch adheres to the IEEE 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking.
The switch supports the link aggregation IEEE 802.3ad 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
•LACP only works on
•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.
