avoid creating a data loop.
It allows a maximum of 10 ports to be aggregated at the same time. The Managed Switch support Gigabit Ethernet ports (up to 5
groups). If the group is defined as a LACP static link aggregationing group, then any extra ports selected are placed in a standby
mode for redundancy if one of the other ports fails. If the group is defined as a local static link aggregationing group, then the
number of ports must be the same as the group member ports.
The aggregation code ensures that frames belonging to the same frame flow (for example, a TCP connection) are always
forwarded on the same link aggregation member port. Reording of frames within a flow is therefore not possible. The
aggregation code is based on the following information:
Source MAC
Destination MAC
Source and destination IPv4 address.
Source and destination TCP/UDP ports for IPv4 packets
Normally, all 5 contributions to the aggregation code should be enabled to obtain the best traffic distribution among the link
aggregation member ports. Each link aggregation may consist of up to 10 member ports. Any quantity of link aggregation s may
be configured for the device (only limited by the quantity of ports on the device.) To configure a proper traffic distribution, the
ports within a link aggregation must use the same link speed.

This Page is used to configure the Aggregation hash mode and the aggregation group. The aggregation hash mode settings are
global, whereas the aggregation group relate to the currently selected stack unit, as reflected by the Page header.
