Port Management > Link Aggregation
You can create multiple links between devices that work
as one virtual, aggregate link. This is known as a Link
Aggregrated Group (LAG). LAGs offers a dramatic increase
in bandwidth for network segments where bottlenecks
exist, as well as providing a fault-tolerant link between two
devices. You can create up to eight LAGs on the Switch.
Each LAG can contain up to eight ports.
