Set Up Link Aggregation
Link aggregation groups (LAGs) allow you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a
single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which
increases fault tolerance and load sharing. Configure LAG membership before you
enable the LAG.
The switch supports both static link aggregation (port trunking) and Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP) groups through IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation.
The switch can support five LAGs.
Set up link aggregation in the following order:
1. Set up the LAG on the switch.
2. Connect the ports that you made members of the LAG on the switch to the ports
that are members of a LAG on another device in your network.

Set Up a Static Link Aggregation Group
The switch can support five LAGs, which can be a combination of static link aggregation
and LACP groups.
You must set up LAG membership before you can enable LAGs.
To specify LAG membership for a static LAG and enable a static LAG:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that
is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
