Set Up Link Aggregation Groups - Netgate Nighthawk S8000 User Manual

Nighthawk S8000 Gaming & Streaming Advanced 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS808E)
LAG 2 can include ports 5 through 8. The port numbers on the other network device do not matter as
long as the ports on the other network device are members of the same LAG and the LAG consists of
the same total number of ports.

Set Up Link Aggregation Groups

You set up static link aggregation on the switch by adding up to four ports to a link aggregation group (LAG)
and by enabling the LAG. However, for a LAG to take effect, you first must make sure that all ports that
participate in a LAG (that is, the ports on both devices) must use the same speed, duplex mode, and flow
control setting (see Manage Individual Port Settings
on the switch) and you must set up a physical link aggregation connection (see
Connection on page 48).
To set up link aggregation groups on the switch:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page opens.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.
4. From the menu at the top of the page, select ADVANCED SETTINGS.
The PRESET MODES page displays.
5. Select Link Aggregation.
