This chapter shows you how to logically aggregate physical links to form one logical, higher bandwidth
link.
22.1.1 Wha t Yo u C a n Do in this C ha pte r
The

) displays global, LAG management, LAG port,
and LACP port settings.
22.2 Link Ag g re g a tio n
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You
may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize
a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link.
However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is one
logical link containing multiple ports.
The Switch supports both static and dynamic link aggregation.
Note: In a properly planned network, it is recommended to implement static link aggregation
only. This ensures increased network stability and control over the trunk groups on your
Switch.
