4.2.1.

Link Aggregation:

A link aggregation groups two or more ports of the switch, and is a function of

connecting the ports, which are grouped to increase the communication band-

width between switches. Using the function of the link aggregation is called trunk-

ing. This device supports the LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), which is

stipulated in IEEE802.3ad. This can configure up to eight (8) ports for one group.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: This device cannot configure the trunking, which mixes up 100M ports and Giga

ports. In addition, you cannot use a spanning tree and the Internet mansion mode as a

combination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: Traffics may not be allocated (or distributed) to all the ports uniformly, depend-

ing on the number of ports in a group and a traffic condition.
