4.4.15.4 Remote Devices
The LLDP-MED Remote Device Summary page displays information about the
remote devices the local system has learned about through the LLDP- MED data
units received on its interfaces. Information is available about remote devices only if
an interface receives an LLDP-MED data unit from a device. To view additional infor-
mation about a remote device, select the interface that received the LLDP-MED data
and click Details. The information below is organized according to the order in which
the fields appear in the LLDP-MED Remote Device Information window.
To access this page, click Switching > LLDP-MED > Remote Devices.

4.4.16 Port Channel
4.4.16.1 Summary
Use the Port Channel Summary page to view and manage port channels on the
device. Port channels, also known as Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs), allow one or
more full-duplex Ethernet links of the same speed to be aggregated together. This
allows the device to treat the port channel as a single, logical link. The primary pur-
pose of a port channel is to increase the bandwidth between two devices. Port chan-
nels can also provide redundancy.
Port ID The MAC address of the interface. This is the MAC address that is
advertised in LLDP-MED PDUs.
