Configuring an aggregation group
This section explains how to configure an aggregation group.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure an aggregation group, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
You cannot assign a port to a Layer 2 aggregation group if any of the following features are
configured on the port:
{
MAC authentication. (See
Security Configuration Guide
.)
{
Port security. (See
Security Configuration Guide
.)
{
802.1X. (See
Security Configuration Guide
.)
•
If a port is used as a reflector port for port mirroring, do not assign it to an aggregation group.
For more information about reflector ports, see
Network Management and Monitoring
Configuration Guide
.
•
Removing an aggregate interface also removes its aggregation group and causes all member
ports to leave the aggregation group.
•
You must configure the same aggregation mode on the two ends of an aggregate link.
•
This switch series supports a maximum of 128 aggregation groups. To ensure the operation of
the service loopback groups, configure no more than 126 aggregation groups
.
Configuring a static aggregation group
To guarantee a successful static aggregation, make sure that the ports at both ends of each link are
in the same aggregation state.
Avoid assigning ports to a static aggregation group that has reached the limit on Selected ports.
These ports will be placed in the Unselected state to avoid traffic interruption on the current Selected
ports. However, a device reboot can cause the aggregation state of member ports to change.

2.
Create a Layer 2 aggregate
interface and enter Layer 2
aggregate interface view.

When you create a Layer 2
aggregate interface, the system
automatically creates a Layer 2
