Common Aggregation Configuration - FibroLAN Falcon-RX/812/G/A User Manual

Falcon R-Class | User Guide
Two switches directly connected over several links can negotiate as to which ports should be selected
as active members of an aggregation group.
A group of ports is selected to belong to a specific group ID (trunk) in order to generate an aggregated
link.
Typically, the ports used in an aggregated link should be of the same type.
Link aggregation configuration is performed in two variants.
•
Static – This mode is used to manually select the ports of the group.
•
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) – In this mode two switches which are directly
connected over several physical links, can negotiate which ports should be selected as active
members of a group.
LACP works by sending frames (LACPDUs) down all links which have the protocol enabled. If it finds
a device on the other end of the link which has also the LACP enabled, it will also independently send
frames along the same links enabling the two devices to detect multiple links between themselves
and the combine them into a single logical link.

Common Aggregation Configuration

The aggregation hash code contributor settings are global (hashes are calculated when the first
connection is established and then kept in the device memory for the session lifetime).

The Source MAC ADDRESS can be used to calculate the
destination port for the frame. Check to enable the use of the
Source MAC address or uncheck to disable. By default, source
MAC Address is "Enabled".
Used to calculate the destination port for the frame. Check to
enable the use of the Destination MAC Address or uncheck to
disable. By default, destination MAC Address is "Disabled".
The IP Address can be used to calculate the destination port for
the frame. Check to enable the use of the IP Address or uncheck
to disable. By default, IP Address is "Enabled".
