2-5 Aggregation
Aggregation is used to configure the settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle more than
one port with the same speed, full duplex, and the same MAC to be a single logical port, thus
the logical port aggregates the bandwidth of these ports. This means you can apply your
current Ethernet equipment to build the bandwidth aggregation. For example, if there are
three Fast Ethernet ports aggregated in a logical port, then this logical port has bandwidth
three times as high as a single Fast Ethernet port has.
2-5.1 Port
Port setting/status is used to configure the trunk property of each and every port in the switch
system.
