6.16 Aggregation
Port trunking is the combination of several ports or network cables to expand the
connection speed beyond the limits of any one single port or network cable. Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP),which is a protocol running on layer 2, provides
a standardized means in accordance with IEEE 802.3ad to bundle several physical
ports together to form a single logical channel. All the ports within the logical channel
or so-called logical aggregator work at the same connection speed and LACP
operation requires full-duplex mode.
6.16.1. Aggregation Configuration

Trunking Group :
There are 6 trunk groups to be selected.

Enable LACP Dynamic Trunking:
Enable LACP with the dedicated trunking group.

Port member: This column field allows the user to choose the total number of
active port up to four. With LA CP , e.g. you assign four ports to be the members
of a trunk group whose work ports column field is set as two; the exceed ports
