GE Reason Switches
When using aggregated ports, both sides of the traffic path must be configured to operate as Aggregated Static Ports, and both
sides must be in the same Group ID. That means to use aggregation function, both switches connected or both nodes must
support Aggregation protocol. In addition, they must be configured to use the same Hash Code Contributors and ports
connected to be used must belong to the same Group ID number.

Port Members: select which ports will be member of a given Group
o
ID number. Same group ID ports means that these ports will
operate as aggregated ports.
After one of the configurations described before is changed, there are buttons that
allow the user to save or discard the configurations.
Save: save configuration at the Running Config;
o
Reset: undo changes made locally at the Running Config.
o
Aggregation LACP menu allows configuring dynamic port aggregation on the switch.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol will aggregate ports automatically when two
Aggregation nodes are connected, and ports connected allow being used in
aggregation mode.
Aggregation LACP menu is located at Settings

LACP Port Configuration:
All allowed configurations are displayed by default. The first column displays port
number that is being configured in a given row. Other columns allow configuration of
a port as shown below.
LACP enabled: enable LACP protocol usage at the port. Checkbox
o
selected means LACP enabled, and checkbox empty means
disabled. Maximum Aggregation groups allowed when using LACP
protocol is 32;
Key: indicates the key used at the port, which represents port
o
speed capabilities. Two ports only could be used in aggregated
mode if they have same speed capabilities, that is, the same key. If
Auto is selected, Reason Switches uses key value 1 to 10 Mbps
ports, key value 2 to 100 Mbps ports and key value 1 to 3 Gbps
ports. If Specific is selected, user can define port key. In Specific
mode, allowed values are integer numbers from 1 to 65,535.
