Link Aggregated Groups optimize port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single
aggregated group. Link aggregated groups multiply the bandwidth between the devices, increase
port flexibility, and provide link redundancy.
The
LAG Settings Page
contains fields for configuring parameters for configured LAGs. The device
supports up to eight ports per LAG, and eight LAGs per system.
