Creating an
Aggregator
To create an aggregator, perform the following procedure:
Caution
Do not connect the cables to the ports of the aggregator on the
switch until after you have configured the aggregator with the
management software and enabled LACP. Connecting the cables
before configuring the software and activating the protocol will
create a loop in your network topology. Data loops can result in
broadcast storms and poor network performance.
Note
Before creating an aggregator, verify that the ports that will be
members of the aggregator are set to Auto-Negotiation or 1000
Mbps, full-duplex. Aggregate trunks do not support half-duplex
mode.
