4.4 Redundancy
This section provides Link Aggregation Configuration and the screen appears as
Link Aggregation object of the Switch.
The Link Aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can
expand bandwidth to a device on the network. Link Aggregation operation requires full-duplex mode
Port Link Aggregations can be used to increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to ensure fault recovery. Link
Aggregation lets you group up to 8 consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection between any two the Switch or other
Layer 2 switches. However, before making any physical connections between devices use the Link Aggregation Configuration
menu to specify the Link Aggregation on the devices at both ends. When using a port Link Aggregation, note that:
The ports used in a Link Aggregation must all be of the same media type (RJ-45, 1000Mbps fiber).
。
The ports that can be assigned to the same Link Aggregation have certain other restrictions (see below).
。
Ports can only be assigned to one Link Aggregation.
。
The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as Link Aggregation ports.
。
None of the ports in a Link Aggregation can be configured as a mirror source port or a mirror target port.
。
All of the ports in a Link Aggregation have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added or deleted from a
。
VLAN.
Enable the Link Aggregation prior to connecting any cable between the switches to avoid creating a data loop.
。
Disconnect all Link Aggregation port cables or disable the Link Aggregation ports before removing a port Link
Aggregation to avoid creating a data loop.
It allows a maximum of eight ports to be aggregated at the same time and the Switch supports up to 12 groups. If the
group is defined as a 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.
