Link aggregation and LACP configuration

Overview

Link aggregation aggregates multiple physical Ethernet ports into one logical link, also called an

"aggregation group".
Link aggregation allows you to increase bandwidth by distributing traffic across the member ports in the

aggregation group. In addition, Link aggregation provides reliable connectivity because these member

ports can dynamically back up each other.

NOTE:

For more information about link aggregation and link aggregation control protocol (LACP), see

Recommended configuration procedures

Recommended static aggregation group configuration procedure

Step Remarks

1. Creating a link

aggregation group

Required
Create a static aggregate interface and configure member ports for the static
aggregation group automatically created by the system when you create the

aggregate interface.
By default, no link aggregation group exists.

2. Displaying information

of an aggregate

interface

Optional
Perform this task to view detailed information of an existing aggregation
group.

Recommended dynamic aggregation group configuration procedure

Step Remarks

1. Creating a link

aggregation group

Required
Create a dynamic aggregate interface and configure member ports for the

dynamic aggregation group automatically created by the system when you
create the aggregate interface. LACP is enabled automatically on all the

member ports.
By default, no link aggregation group exists.

2. Displaying information

of an aggregate

interface

Optional
Perform this task to view detailed information of an existing aggregation
group.
