Link Aggregation
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 can create a LAG that includes two or more ports as members and apply the LAG
to a network profile. A LAG can be static or dynamic, and you can configure the LAG
as a trunk. The switch can support multiple LAGs.
The chapter contains the following sections:
Auto-LAG overview
Enable or disable Auto-LAGs
Configure the hash mode for Auto-LAGs
Create a LAG
Change a LAG
Remove a LAG
For more information about the LAG options of the switch, see the main user manual,
