NOTE:
•
If a port is used as a reflector port for port mirroring, do not assign it to any aggregation group. For
more information about reflector ports, see the
Network Management and Monitoring Configuration
Guide.
•
To achieve better load sharing results for data traffic among the member ports of a link aggregation
group, assign ports of the same type (such as all 100 Mbps ports or all GE ports and so on) to the link
aggregation group.
CAUTION:
Removing an aggregate interface also removes the corresponding aggregation group. At the same time,
all member ports leave the aggregation group.
Configuring a static aggregation group
NOTE:
To guarantee a successful static aggregation, ensure that the ports at both ends of each link are in the
same aggregation state.
Follow these steps to configure a Layer 2 static aggregation group:
To do...
Use the command...

When you create a Layer 2
aggregate interface, the system
automatically creates a Layer 2
static aggregation group
numbered the same.
