Configure link aggregation groups
Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port channels, allow you to
combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the
aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load
sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default
becomes a member of the default management VLAN (that is, VLAN 1).
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must
participate in the same protocols.
A static port channel interf
ace does not require a partner
system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither
transmits nor receives LACPDUs.
The switch supports eight LAGs.
Configure LAG settings
You can group one or more full-duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form a link
aggregation group, which is also known as a port channel. The switch treats the LAG as if it
were a single link.
To configure LAG settings:
1. Connect your
computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ether
net cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Access the switch on-network and
connected to the Internet on page 19 or Access the switch off-network and not
connected to the Internet on page 27.
The Device UI login page displays.
Frame Size (1522 to 10000) The maximum Ethernet frame size that each interface can support. The
frame size depends on your selection from the Frame Size menu above
the table and applies to each interface.
MAC Address Displays the physical address of the specified interface.
PortList Bit Offset Displays the bit offset value that corresponds to the port when the MIB
object type PortList is used to manage in SNMP
.
ifIndex The ifIndex of the interface table entry associated with this p
ort.
