Ports
List of configured ports on the selected switch.
LAG Ports
Link Aggregation Group (LAG) Ports organized as a list of master
ports and the LAG members that are associated with the master
port. All ports assigned to a LAG must have the same port function.
The configuration of the master port is shared with its LAG
members. When a port is added to a LAG, its previous unique
configuration is removed and the port inherits the group
configuration.
Note: A Link Aggregation Group whose function is to connect to an
AP is limited to two ports in the group.
