8-Port or 16-Port 10-Gigabit/Multi-Gigabit Smart Managed Plus Switch

Set up static link aggregation groups

Link aggregation groups (LAGs) allow you to combine multiple Ethernet links into a single
logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases
fault tolerance and load sharing. The switch supports up to four static LAGs. Configure LAG
membership before you enable the LAG.
Note: The switch does not support IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation or Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) groups. The switch supports
manual static LAGs only.

Use the local browser interface to specify LAG

membership and enable LAGs

You must set up LAG membership before you can enable LAGs.
To specify LAG membership and enable a LAG:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch using a web
browser on page 17.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the password field.
The switch's default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > LAG > LAG Membership.
6. In the LAG ID menu, select the LAG ID.
