4.2 Port Aggregation
Link aggregation means aggregating several links together to form an aggregation group, so
as to implement outgoing/incoming load balance among the member ports in the group and
to enhance the connection reliability. Depending on different aggregation modes, aggregation
groups fall into three types: manual, static LACP, and dynamic LACP.
4.2.1 Aggregate Groups
A SIGNAMAX 065-7909HPOE industrial switch supports 13 link aggregation groups.
Configuration steps:
Step 1 Select Trunk ID. There are 13 groups(T1 ~ T13 );
Step 2 Specify the trunk name;
Step 3 Specify the trunk type;
Manual: a manual trunk can only be manually set or deleted; LACP can be disabled.
Static: a static LACP trunk can only be manually set or deleted; any port in a static LACP
trunk shall enable LACP protocol. When a static LACP trunk is (manually) deleted, all ports of
this trunk with “up” status will generate one or more dynamic LACP trunks automatically.
Step 4 Select the ports as members of an aggregate group (2 ~ 8 ports);
Step 5 Click <Apply>, and then the link-aggregation Information will be listed at the lower
part.
 Note: A trunk may be configured as a mirroring port, but it is not allowed to configure a
trunk as a monitoring port.
