Link Aggregation

Link aggregation allows several ports to be grouped together
and to act as a single link. This gives a bandwidth that is a
multiple of a single link's bandwidth.
Link aggregation is most commonly used to link a bandwidth
intensive network device or devices – such as a server – to the
backbone of a network.
The switch allows the creation of up to six link aggregation
groups, each group consisting of up to eight links (ports). All of
the ports in the group must be members of the same VLAN.
Further, the aggregated links must all be of the same speed
and should be configured as full duplex.
