Link Aggregation

2.1 Example of link aggregation

In a network consisting of seven devices in a line topology, there are two
segments with a particularly large amount of data traffic. You therefore
decide to set up link aggregations in these segments. As well as dividing the
load over several lines, you also get increased reliability in these segments
through the redundant lines.
The link aggregation LATP (Link Aggregation Twisted Pair) consists of
3 twisted pair lines, and the link aggregation LAFO (Link Aggregation Fiber
Optic) consists of 2 glass fiber lines.

The following example describes the configuration of the LATP link
aggregation. For this link aggregation, you provide three free twisted pair
ports at each of the two participating devices. (Connection: Module1 Port1 to
Port3).
