1.2  Approaches to Link Aggregation  

Two ways are available for implementing link aggregation, as described in 

Manual Link 

Aggregation

, and 

Static LACP link aggregation

.  

1.2.1  Manual Link Aggregation 

I. Overview 

You can configure manual link aggregation by manually assigning ports to a 

LACP-disabled aggregation group. LACP is disabled on all ports in a manual 

aggregation group. 

II. Port states in a manual aggregation group 

In a manual aggregation group, ports are either selected or unselected. Selected ports 

can receive and transmit data frames whereas unselected ones cannot. Among all 

selected ports, the one with the lowest port number is the master port and others are 

member ports.  

When setting the state of ports in a manual aggregation group, the system considers 

the following: 

z

 

Select a port from the ports in up state, if any, in the order of full duplex/high speed, 

full duplex/low speed, half duplex/high speed, and half duplex/low speed, with the 

full duplex/high speed being the most preferred. If two ports with the same duplex 

mode/speed pair are present, the one with the lower port number wins out. Then,
