3.5 Aggregation
Compared with adding cost to install extra cables to increase the redundancy and link speed, link aggregation is a
relatively inexpensive way to set up a high-speed backbone network that transfers much more data than any one
single port or device can deliver. Link aggregation uses multiple ports in parallel to increase the link speed. And there
are two types of aggregation that are available, namely “Static” and “LACP”.
Under the Aggregation heading are two major icons, static and LACP.
3.5.1 Static
Aggregation Mode Configuration
Source MAC Address: All traffic from the same Source MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk.
Destination MAC Address: All traffic with the same Destination MAC address is output on the same link in a trunk.
IP Address: All traffic with the same source and destination IP address is output on the same link in a trunk.
TCP/UDP Port Number: All traffic with the same source and destination TCP/UDP port number is output on the same
link in a trunk.
Aggregation Group Configuration
Group ID: Trunk ID number. By default, no ports belong to any aggregation group. Only full duplex ports can join an
aggregation and ports must be in the same speed in each group. Two aggregation groups are available for use. Each
group contains at least 2 to 5 links (ports). Please note that each port can only be used once in each group.
