REATING ORT
Port-trunks, which are also known as link aggregation groups (LAGs), allow you to combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet
links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance
and provides load sharing. You assign the port-channel (LAG) VLAN membership after you create a port-trunk. The port
channel by default becomes a member of the management VLAN.
A port-trunk (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a port channel must participate in
the same protocols. A static port-trunk interface does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels (LAGs) that your platform supports,
additional port-channels that you configure are automatically static.
Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither transmits nor receives LACPDUs.

Use the Port Channel Configuration page to group one or more full duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form
a port-channel, which is also known as a link aggregation group (LAG). The switch treats the port-channel as if it were a
single link.
To access the Port Channel Configuration page, click LAN > L2 Features > Trunking > Configuration in the navigation
tree.

Description
Select Create from the drop-down menu to configure a new port channel, or select an
existing port channel, identified by the interface and name, to modify its settings. The
maximum number of port channels is platform-dependent.
After you create the port channel, this field identifies the Port Channel with the Slot/
Port interface naming convention. This field does not appear while you initially
configure a new Port Channel.
