4 Link Aggregation
4.1 Overview
Link Aggregation means that multiple physical ports are aggregated to a logical group. At
the same group, multiple physical links are regarded as one logical link. Link Aggregation
makes the load sharing among the ports of the aggregation group possible, which will
expand the bandwidth. Meanwhile, the dynamic replication exits among the ports of the
same aggregation group, which will improve the link reliability.
At the same group, all ports settings shall be accordant, including STP, VLAN, Address
Leaning and Port Management. Detailed specifications are as below
：
At the same group, the STP (State, Priority, and Path Cost), VLAN (PVID, Tag
Processing Policy) and Port (Enable/Disable status, Speed/Duplex, Priority, Flow
Control, Storm Control, Address Learning) shall be consistent in configuration.
For the ports at the aggregation group, following function settings are not available:
Static Port MAC Address Binding, Mirroring Destination Port.
The port which has enabled the mirroring destination port (set as the mirroring
destination port) is not allowed to join the aggregation group.
