6.8 Link Aggregation

6.8.1

Static Trunk

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. The Switch supports both static and dynamic link
aggregation.
Note: In a properly planned network, it is recommended to implement static link aggregation
only. This ensures increased network stability and control over the trunk groups on your Switch.

6.8.1.1 CLI Configuration

(disable | enable)

interface PORTLISTS
configure no link-aggregation [GROUP_ID]
interface PORTLISTS
Example:
L2SWITCH#configure terminal
L2SWITCH(config)#link-aggregation 1 enable
L2SWITCH(config)#link-aggregation 1 ports 1-4
