Configure Link Aggregation Groups - NETGEAR GS724TPv2 User Manual

NETGEAR 24-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Model GS724TPv2
a pause frame to stop traffic on a port if the amount of memory used by the packets on
the port exceeds a preconfigured threshold and responds to pause requests from partner
devices. The paused port does not forward packets for the period of time specified in the
pause frame. When the pause frame time elapses, or the utilization returns to a specified
low threshold, the switch enables the port to again transmit frames. For LAG interfaces,
flow control mode is displayed as a blank field because flow control is not applicable.

Configure Link Aggregation Groups

Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port channels, allow you to
combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the
aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load
sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default
becomes a member of the default management VLAN (that is, VLAN 1).
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must
participate in the same protocols. A static port channel interface does not require a partner
system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither
transmits nor receives LACPDUs. The switch supports eight LAGs.
Description
For normal ports this field is blank. Otherwise, the possible values are
as follows:
• Mirrored. The port is a mirrored port on which all the traffic is
copied to the probe port.
• Probe. Use this port to monitor a mirrored port.
• Trunk Member. The port is a member of a link aggregation trunk.
Look at the LAG pages for more information.
Indicates the port speed and duplex mode.
Indicates whether the link is up or down.
Displays the physical address of the specified interface.
Displays the bit offset value that corresponds to the port when the MIB
object type PortList is used to manage in SNMP.
The ifIndex of the interface table entry associated with this port.
