NOTE: Recovery Mode is not available when Alert or Port Based with
Manual Recovery is the chosen Operation Mode.
NOTE: Loopback Detection requires Storm Control to be configured
and active.
5.2 LAG
LAG (Link Aggregation Group) is used to combine a number of Ports together to make
a single high-bandwidth Data path and to implement traffic load sharing among the
member Ports of a group. This also enhances connection reliability.
All member Ports in an Aggregation group must have the same basic configuration. The
included basic configuration options include;
STP, QoS, GVRP, VLAN, Port Attributes,
MAC Address Learning Mode and other associated settings.
„
If the Ports that have GVRP, 802.1Q VLAN, Voice VLAN, STP, QoS, DHCP Snooping and
Port Configuration (Speed and Duplex, Flow Control) settings configured are in a LAG
Group, their configurations should be the same.
„
The Ports that have Port Security, Port Mirror, MAC Address Filtering, Static MAC
Address Binding and 802.1X/RADIUS Authentication settings configured cannot be
added to a LAG Group.
„
It is not recommended to add any Ports with ARP Inspection and/or DoS Defense to
the LAG Group.
If a LAG Group(s) is to be used, we recommend configuration of the LAG Group before
configuring the other functions for LAG Member Ports.
NOTE: To calculate the bandwidth of a LAG: If a LAG consists of the four
Ports with the speed of 1000Mbps Full Duplex, the aggregate
bandwidth of the LAG is up to 8000Mbps (2000Mbps * 4) because
the bandwidth of each member Port is 2000Mbps taking in to
account the up-link speed of 1000Mbps and the down-link speed
of 1000Mbps.
NOTE: The traffic load of the LAG will be automatically balanced among
the Member Ports. If the connection of one or several Ports
are lost, the traffic using these Ports will be forwarded by the
remaining Member Ports of the LAG maintaining redundancy.
