Link Aggregation
Description
Link aggregation is a way of combining ports on the switch to increase the
available bandwidth and provide redundancy. All ports in the aggregated
link take on the characteristics of the anchor port. This means if you set the
anchor port to 100Mbps full duplex, all the ports aggregated to that anchor
port will share the same setting.
Anchor Port: This shows the first port in the link aggregation.
Width: Use the z to set the total number of (consecutive) member
ports in the aggregated link. The minimum number of ports for an
aggregated link is two, and the maximum is eight. The link aggregation
width includes the anchor port.
Aggregation Group Name: This field allows you to assign a name to the
aggregated links for management or identification purposes.
Status: Use the z to enable or disable the aggregated link.
