Static Aggregation
This page is used to configure the Aggregation hash mode and the aggregation group from the

menu path.
Aggregation involves using multiple ports in parallel to increase the link speed beyond the limits of a port,
and to increase the redundancy for higher availability (aka ‘Port Aggregation’ or ‘Link Aggregation’).
Guidelines for Static Aggregation
:
A static aggregation can contain up to eight ports.
All ports of a static aggregation must be of the same medium type (all twisted-pair ports or all fiber
optic ports, but not a combination of the two).
The aggregation ports can be either consecutive (e.g., Ports 2 - 4) or non-consecutive (e.g., ports 1,
3, and 5).
Before creating a port aggregation, verify that the settings are the same for all ports in the trunk
including speed, duplex mode, flow control, VLAN membership, etc. If these settings are not the
same, the switch will not let you create the aggregation.
After you create a port aggregation, a change to the speed, duplex mode, flow control, or back
pressure of any port in the trunk automatically implements the same change on all the other member
ports.
A port can belong to only one static aggregation at a time.
The ports of a static aggregation can be configured to be members of more than one VLAN.
The ports of a static aggregation can be either tagged or untagged members of the same VLAN.
