Network Requirements
Before
installing
the
module,
review
the
requirements
and
specifications
referred
to
in
this
chapter
concerning
the
following:
The
network
installation
must
meet
the
requirements
to
ensure
satisfactory
performance
of
this
equipment.
Failure
to
do
so
will
produce
poor
network
performance.
Link Aggregation
Link
Aggregation
is
a
method
of
grouping
multiple
physical
ports
on
a
network
device
into
one
logical
link
according
to
the
IEEE
802.3ad
‐
2002
standard.
Because
Link
Aggregation
is
standards
based,
it
allows
for
automatic
configuration
with
manual
overrides
(if
applicable),
and
can
operate
on
10
Mbps,
100
Mbps,
or
1000
Mbps
Ethernet
full
duplex
ports.
Thus
the
network
administrator
can
combine
a
group
of
five
100
Mbps
ports
into
a
logical
link
(trunk)
that
functions
as
a
single
500
Mbps
port.
As
long
as
the
DFE
modules
agree
on
which
ports
are
in
the
trunk,
there
are
no
problems
with
looping,
and
the
Spanning
Tree
can
treat
this
trunk
as
a
single
port.
