Aggregating Ports

Port Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single
Link Aggregated Group (LAG). Port Aggregation multiplies the bandwidth between the
devices, increases port flexibility, and provides link redundancy. Both the PowerConnect
3324 and PowerConnect 3348 support up to six LAGs, and eight ports per LAG per stack or
stand-alone unit.
Each LAG is composed of ports of the same speed, set to full-duplex operations. Ports in a
LAG, can be of different media types (UTP/Fiber, or different fiber types), provided they
operate at the same speed.
