6.10 Link Aggregation

This chapter shows you how to logically aggregate physical links to form one logical, higher-
bandwidth link.
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link.
You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to
under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. However, the more ports you
aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is one logical link containing
multiple ports.
The beginning port of each trunk group must be physically connected to form a trunk group.

DESCRIPTION
Configure link aggregation ports.
This field displays the group ID to identify a trunk group, that is, one logical link
containing multiple ports.
These are the ports you have configured in the Link Aggregation screen to be in the
trunk group.
The port number(s) displays only when this trunk group is activated and there is a
port belonging to this group.
These are the ports that are currently transmitting data as one logical link in this trunk
group.
Link Aggregator ID consists of the following: system priority, MAC address, key, port
priority and port number.
The ID displays only when there is a port belonging to this trunk group and LACP is
also enabled for this group.
