Group Configuration
Once the physical interfaces are configured, you need to create and configure link aggregation
groups.
On appliances other than the IP2250, you can put ports on different LAN interface cards in the
same aggregation group. For example, you can include a port on a card in slot 1 and a port on a
card in slot 2 in the same group. On the IP2250, do not include ports on different IO cards in the
same aggregation group.
If you use VRRP and VPN-1 NG with appliances other than the IP2250, you can run firewall
synchronization traffic over an aggregated link, regardless of which ports participate in the link.
On the IP2250, do not run this traffic over an aggregated link that is made up of ports on an
interface card.
To configure link aggregation groups
1. Click Link Aggregation under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2. In the New Group ID field, enter a numeric value that will identify the group of aggregrated
interfaces.
3. Click Apply.
An entry for the new group appears under Existing Link Aggregation Groups.
4. Use the Primary Port pull-down menu to select a port for the aggregation group.
The menu shows the physical names of the interfaces that correspond to the available
Ethernet ports. For example, eth1 corresponds to the first built-in Ethernet port, and eth-s5p1
corresponds to port 1 on the NIC in slot 5. Be careful not to select a port that you are using
for a management connection.
5. Click Apply.
The entry for the aggregation group indicates that the MAC address for the interface you
selected is used as the MAC address for all the interfaces in the group.
6. Add a port to the group by selecting another interface from the Add Port menu.
Caution
Do not include ports on different IP2250 I/O cards in the same aggregation group. This
configuration is not supported.
7. Click Apply.
Note that Network Voyager's display of the aggregated bandwidth does not reflect whether any
of the ports are physically up or logically active.
