Defining LAG Members
Link Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single LAG.
Aggregating ports multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases port flexibility, and
provides link redundancy. Ports added to a LAG lose their individual port configuration. When
ports are removed from the LAG, the original port configuration is applied to the ports. Ensure the
following when configuring LAGs:
•
All ports within a LAG must be the same media type.
•
A VLAN is not configured on the port.
•
The port is not assigned to a different LAG.
•
Auto-negotiation mode is not configured on the port.
•
The port is in full-duplex mode.
•
All ports in the LAG have the same ingress filtering and tagged modes.
•
All ports in the LAG have the same back pressure and flow control modes.
•
All ports in the LAG have the same priority.
•
All ports in the LAG have the same transceiver type.
•
The device supports up to eight LAGs with eight ports in each LAG.
