5 Aggregation Settings
5.1 Static Aggregation Setting
Static aggregation will aggregate ports as user defines, without usage of automatic
protocols.
Aggregation Static menu is located at Settings  Aggregation  Static.

Aggregation Mode Configuration:
This menu contains the settings allowed to be used as filters in the static aggregation
mode. At the Hash Code Contributors table, there are four checkboxes that can be
selected to enable given parameters as static aggregation filter.
o
Source MAC Address : traffic balancing will use source MAC
address as filter. Source MAC address field at the Ethernet frame
will be used to define on which port of aggregation group traffic
will be redirected;
o
Destination MAC Address : traffic balancing will use destination
MAC address as filter. Destination MAC address field at the
Ethernet frame will be used to define on which port of aggregation
group traffic will be redirected;
o
IP Address : traffic balancing will use IP address traffic as filter. IP
addresses at the Ethernet frame will be used to define on which
port of aggregation group traffic will be redirected;
o
TCP/UDP Port Number : traffic balancing will use TCP or UDP port
numbers as filter. TCP/UDP port number field at the Ethernet frame
will be used to define on which port of aggregation group traffic
will be redirected.

Aggregation Group Configuration:
This menu allows defining which ports will be at the same group in static aggregation
mode. At the table, there are the Group ID column and Port Members columns.
Two ports belonging at the same Group ID means that they will behave as only one
port, and MAC address used in traffic flow will be the lowest port number MAC
address. Maximum number of group aggregation allowed will be half of total port
numbers, that is, minimum aggregation Group must have at least two ports. By
default, all ports belong to Normal Group ID. Possible configurations are as follows.
