Aggregating Ports; Lacp Parameters - Dell PowerConnect 6224 User Manual

Aggregating Ports

Link Aggregation allows one or more full-duplex (FDX) Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form
a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). This allows the networking switch to treat the LAG as if it is a single
link.
Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither transmits nor
receives LACPDUs.
To display the Link Aggregation menu page, click Switching → Link Aggregation in the tree view. The
Link Aggregation page contains links to the following features:
