Link Aggregation - D-Link DWC-2000 User Manual

Section 5 - Advanced Network Configuration
Path: Network > LAN > Link Aggregation
Link aggregation is used to combine a number of ports together to make a single high-bandwidth data pipeline.
The controller treats all ports in a trunk group as a single port.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is used to negotiate a dynamic aggregated link between the controller
and another network device that supports 802.3ad. For this to work, the controllers must comply with LACP to
allow negotiation of the aggregated link.
1. Click Network > LAN > Link Aggregation.
2. Click Add New LAC. The following window will appear.
