Configuring The Link Aggregation - Hirschmann PowerMICE User Manual

Link Aggregation
5.1 Configuring the link
aggregation
Note: A link aggregation always has two switches. Therefore, you
configure the link aggregation on each of the two switches involved.
V From the switches involved in a link aggregation, you define the
switch that has the most switches between itself and the switch to
which the configuration PC is connected. You begin the configuration
at this switch – otherwise the LACP can block ports and disconnect
switches from the network.
In the example below
tion first on switch S3 and then on S2. If you disconnect switch S3
from the network by using an incorrect configuration sequence, you
can access it again by selecting "Allow static link aggregation" in the
Redundancy: Link Aggregation dialog in switch S2.

V During the configuration phase, you only connect one connection line
between the switches. This is to avoid loops.
V On the first switch to be configured, you select the dialog
