❼ Failover performance: FRNT failover performance may be degraded when
running RSTP over a link aggregate as opposed to using regular links.
❼ Forwarding/Blocking state: An aggregate is forwarding data packets only
if both FRNT and the link aggregate itself determine that it should be in
forwarding state.
❼ Link Up/Down: An aggregate is up if at least one of its member ports are
considered up. An aggregate is down if all its member ports are down.
❼ Mixing aggregated and regular links: The topology in
fig. 17.3 uses link
aggregation throughout the whole FRNT ring. It is possible to run link aggre-
gation on a subset of the links in the FRNT ring.
17.1.4.5 Link Aggregation and other Low-level WeOS features
Use of link aggregation with other low-level features, e.g., port monitoring ( sec-
tion 7.1.10 ), port access control ( section 13.2 and chapter 21 ), etc. is not sup-
ported as of WeOS v4.17.0. To use those features together with link aggregation
it may be possible to specify the individual member ports in the configuration,
however, the behaviour is undefined and its use is unsupported.
