Port Channel Configuration Task List - Planet Networking & Communication WGSW-50040 Configuration Manual

the same.
If Port Channel is configured manually or dynamically on switch, the system will automatically set the port with
the smallest number to be Master Port of the Port Channel. If the spanning tree function is enabled in the
switch, the spanning tree protocol will regard Port Channel as a logical port and send BPDU frames via the
master port.
Port aggregation is closely related with switch hardware. Switch allow physical port aggregation of any two
switches, maximum 8 port groups and 8 ports in each port group are supported.
Once ports are aggregated, they can be used as a normal port. Switch have a built-in aggregation interface
configuration mode, the user can perform related configuration in this mode just like in the VLAN and physical
port configuration mode.
