Set Up a Link Aggregation Group
You set up static link aggregation on the switch by adding up to four ports to a link
aggregation group (LAG) and by enabling the LAG. However, for a LAG to take effect,
you first must make sure that all ports that participate in the LAG (that is, the ports on
both devices) use the same speed, duplex mode, and flow control setting (see Manage
Individual Port Settings on page 39 for information about changing these settings on
the switch) and you must set up a physical link aggregation connection (see Make a Link
Aggregation Connection on page 74).
After you set up a link aggregation group and make a physical link aggregation
connection, you can enable the link aggregation group (see Enable a Link Aggregation
Group on page 74).
To set up one or more link aggregation groups on the switch:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch or to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
