Chapter 4: Link aggregation configuration
MultiLink Trunking (MLT) with Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) manages switch ports and port
memberships to form a link aggregation group (LAG). Configure LACP to allow dynamic bundling of
physical ports to form a single logical channel.
Important:
The current release does not support standby mode for aggregation groups larger than eight ports.

Configuring global LACP parameters

Use LACP parameters to manage switch ports and their port memberships to form link
aggregation groups (LAG). LACP can dynamically add or remove LAG ports, depending on
their availability and states.
Procedure steps
1. In the navigation tree, open the following folders: Configuration > VLAN.
2. Double-click MLT/LACP
3. To enable LACP globally, select the Enable check box.
4. Configure the remaining parameters as desired or retain the default values.
5. Click Apply.

Manager
Important:
Configuration changes to the LACP timers are not effective immediately. LACP
timers are not reset until the next time LACP is restarted globally or on a port.
This ensures consistency with peer switches.
