specification) as their trunking method can choose their unique LACP GroupID
(1~8) to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using LACP is that a port
makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a ready member of a
“trunk group” (also called aggregator). LACP is safer than the other trunking
method - static trunk.
The switch LACP does not support the followings:
Link Aggregation across switches
Aggregation with non-IEEE 802.3 MAC link
Operating in half-duplex mode
Aggregate the ports with different data rates
Static Trunk:
Ports using Static Trunk as their trunk method can choose their unique Static
GroupID (also 1~8, this Static groupID can be the same with another LACP
groupID) to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using Static Trunk
method is that a port can immediately become a member of a trunk group
without any handshaking with its peer port. This is also a disadvantage
because the peer ports of your static trunk group may not know that they
should be aggregate together to form a “logic trunked port”. Using Static Trunk
on both end of a link is strongly recommended. Please also note that low
speed links will stay in “not ready” state when using static trunk to aggregate
with high speed links.
As to system restrictions about the port aggregation function on the switch,
In the management point of view, the switch supports maximum 8 trunk groups
for LACP and additional 8 trunk groups for Static Trunk. But in the system
capability view, only 8 “real trunked” groups are supported. An LACP trunk
group with more than one ready member-ports is a “real trunked” group. An
LACP trunk group with only one or less than one ready member-ports is not a
“real trunked” group. Any Static trunk group is a “real trunked” group.
