GroupID (also 1~8, this Static groupID can be the same with another LACP
groupID)
to form a logic “trunked port”. The benefit of using Static Trunk method is
that a port can immediately become a member of a trunk group without any
handshaking with its peer port. This is also a disadvantage because the peer ports
of your static trunk group may not know that they should be aggregate together to
form a “logic trunked port”. Using Static Trunk on both end of a link is strongly
recommended. Please also note that low speed links will stay in “not ready” state
when using static trunk to aggregate with high speed links.
As to system restrictions about the port aggregation function on the switch, In the
management point of view, the switch supports maximum 8 trunk groups for LACP and
additional 8 trunk groups for Static Trunk
. But in the system capability view, only 8 “real
trunked” groups are supported. An LACP trunk group with more than one ready
member-port is a “real trunked” group. An LACP trunk group with only one or less than one
ready member-port is not a “real trunked” group. Any Static trunk group is a “real trunked”
group.
Per Trunking Group supports a maximum of 12 ready member-ports. Please note that
some decisions will automatically be made by the system while you are configuring your
trunking ports. Some configuration examples are listed below:
(1) 12 ports have already used Static Trunk Group ID 1, the 13th port willing to
use the same Static Trunk Group ID will be automatically set to use the
“None” trunking method and its Group ID will turn to 0. This means the port
won’t aggregate with other ports.
(2) 14 ports all use LACP Trunk Group ID 1 at most 12 ports can aggregate
together and transit into the ready state.
(3) A port using the “None“ trunking method or Group ID 0 will be automatically
set to use the “None” trunking method with Group ID 0.
