49.4 Link Aggregation Setting

Use the Link Aggregation Setting screen to enable static link. Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping
of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is
cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port
link. However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is
one logical link containing multiple ports.

DESCRIPTION
This field displays the group ID to identify a trunk group, that is, one logical link containing multiple
ports.
These are the ports you have configured in the Link Aggregation screen to be in the trunk group.
The port numbers displays only when this trunk group is activated and there is a port belonging to
this group.
These are the ports that are currently transmitting data as one logical link in this trunk group.
Link Aggregator ID consists of the following: system priority, MAC address, key, port priority and
port number.
The ID displays only when there is a port belonging to this trunk group and LACP is also enabled
for this group.
This shows the outgoing traffic distribution algorithm used in this trunk group. Packets from the
same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk.
src-mac means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet's source MAC address.
dst-mac means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet's destination MAC address.
src-dst-mac means the Switch distributes traffic based on a combination of the packet's source
and destination MAC addresses.
src-ip means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet's source IP address.
dst-ip means the Switch distributes traffic based on the packet's destination IP address.
src-dst-ip means the Switch distributes traffic based on a combination of the packet's source
and destination IP addresses.
This field displays how these ports were added to the trunk group. It displays:
• Static – if the ports are configured as static members of a trunk group.
• LACP – if the ports are configured to join a trunk group via LACP.
