Configuring Link Aggregation (LAG) and LACP
Link aggregation (LAG) enables you to group several physical Ethernet or radio interfaces into a single logical
interface bound to a single MAC address. This logical interface is known as a LAG group. Traffic sent to the
interfaces in a LAG group is distributed by means of a load balancing function. PTP 820G uses a distribution
function of up to Layer 4 in order to generate the most efficient distribution among the LAG physical ports.
This section explains how to configure LAG and includes the following topics:
•
•
•
Enabling and Disabling LAG Group Shutdown in case of Degradation Event
•
Configuring Enhanced LAG Distribution
•
•
Displaying LACP Parameters and Statistics.
LAG Overview
LAG can be used to provide interface redundancy. LAG can also be used to aggregate several interfaces in order to
create a wider (aggregate) link. For example, LAG can be used to create a 4 Gbps channel.
You can create up to four LAG groups. The following restrictions exist with respect to LAG groups:
•
Only physical interfaces (including radio interfaces), not logical interfaces, can belong to a LAG group.
•
Cascading interfaces cannot belong to a LAG group. See
