Make a Physical Link Aggregation Connection

Before you make a physical link aggregation connection to another network device (usually a router or
another switch) that also supports link aggregation, you must first set up a link aggregation group (LAG) on
the switch (see Set Up a Link Aggregation Group
Whether a LAG on the switch functions to support increased bandwidth or fault tolerance depends on the
LAG configuration on the other network device.
All ports that participate in a LAG (that is, the ports on both devices) must use the same speed, full duplex
mode, and flow control setting. For information about changing these settings on the switch, see
Individual Port Settings
To make link aggregation connections between the switch and other network devices:
Using Ethernet cables, connect each port that you intend to made a member of the LAG on the switch
to each port that is member of the same LAG on another network device.
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, the LAG consists of the same total number of ports, and the
ports use the same speed, full duplex mode, and flow control setting as the ports in the LAG on the
switch.
