Link Aggregation - Panasonic GA-ML Series Manual

4.2. Link Aggregation

4.2.1. Link Aggregation:
A link aggregation groups two or more ports of the switch, and is the function of
connecting between the ports, which are grouped to increase the communication
bandwidth between switches. Using the function of the link aggregation is called a
Trunking. This device supports the LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol),
which is stipulated in IEEE802.3ad. This can configure up to 8 ports for one group.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: This device cannot configure the trunking, which mixes up 100M ports and Giga
ports. In addition, using a panning tree and Internet Mansion Mode, as a combination,
is impossible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Traffics may not be allocated (or distributed) to all the ports uniformly, depend-
ing on the number of ports in a group and a traffic condition.
