Chapter 9: Ports and Link Aggregation (LAG)
163
Aggregation Overview
When
using
LAGs
between
two
switches,
as
shown
in
you
can
create
a
virtual
link
between
them,
operating
with
combined
throughput
levels
that
depends
on
how
many
physical
ports
are
included.
Two
types
of
aggregation
are
available:
static
LAGs
and
dynamic
Link
Aggregation
Control
Protocol
(LACP)
LAGs.
Up
to
52
LAGs
of
each
type
are
supported,
depending
of
the
number
and
type
of
available
ports.
Each
LAG
can
include
up
to
24
member
ports.
Figure 9.
Link
Aggregation
Group
(LAG)
LAGs
are
also
useful
for
connecting
a
NE2552E
to
third
‐
party
devices
that
support
link
aggregation,
such
as
Cisco
routers
and
switches
with
EtherChannel
technology
(
not
ISL
aggregation
technology)
and
Sun
ʹ
s
Quad
Fast
Ethernet
Adapter.
Static
LAG
technology
is
compatible
with
these
devices
when
they
are
configured
manually.
LAG
traffic
is
statistically
distributed
among
the
ports
in
a
LAG,
based
on
a
variety
of
configurable
options.
Also,
since
each
LAG
is
comprised
of
multiple
physical
links,
the
LAG
is
inherently
fault
tolerant.
As
long
as
one
connection
between
the
switches
is
available,
the
LAG
remains
active
and
statistical
load
balancing
is
maintained
whenever
a
port
in
the
LAG
is
lost
or
returned
to
service.
