Set up static link aggregation groups
Link aggregation groups (LAGs) allow you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a single
logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases
fault tolerance and load sharing. The switch supports up to four static LAGs. Configure LAG
membership before you enable the LAG.
Note:
The switch does not support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation or Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) groups. The switch supports
manual static LAGs only.
