3.5 Trunking
Go to Trunking > LACP
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may
want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a
high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
The Switch supports the link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. This standard describes the Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk
groups.
When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at
the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an
operational port fails, then one of the “standby” ports become operational without user intervention.
Please note that:

You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for
LACP trunking.

LACP only works on full-duplex links.

All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow
control settings.

Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network
topology loops.

Select Enable or Disable to enable or disable Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Link Aggregation
Algorithm
Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or
to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default,
the Switch uses the MAC SA & DA distribution type.
Select MAC SA
to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
Select MAC DA
to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC
