Aggregate Port Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure an aggregate port on Ruijie devices.
Overview
Understanding Aggregate Port
Multiple physical links can be bound into a logical link, called an aggregate port
(hereinafter referred to as AP). Ruijie devices provide the AP function that complies
with the IEEE802.3ad standard. This function can be used to expand link bandwidth
and improve reliability.
AP function supports traffic balancing that evenly allocating the traffic to every member
link. AP function also supports link backup. When a link member in an AP is
disconnected, the system will automatically allocate the traffic of the member link to
other active member links in the AP, except for the broadcast or multicast packets it
received.
Typical AP configurations
Each AP includes up to 8 member ports.
Understanding Traffic Balancing
Traffic can be evenly distributed on the member links of an AP according to the
features such as source MAC address, destination MAC address, combination of
source MAC address and destination MAC address, source IP address, destination IP
address, and combination of source IP address and destination IP address. The
aggregateport load-balance command can be used to set the method to distribute
traffic.
