5.3.24 Link Aggregation
Ports → Link Aggregation
This function is not implemented yet!
TFortis SWU switches support creation up to 5 aggregated links containing 2
to 8 ports. Aggregation of the switch physical ports into an aggregated channel allows
to increase the throughput between switches by a factor of N (where N is the number
of ports in the group) and to improve the fault tolerance of the system. Aggregation is
static thus it requires the manual setup.
