Link Aggregation - Planet VC-810S User Manual

4.9 Link Aggregation

Port Link Aggregation optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to form a single Link Aggregated Groups
(LAGs). Port Aggregation multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases port flexibility, and provides link
redundancy.
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.
Aggregated Links are treated by the system as a single logical port. Specifically, the Aggregated Link has similar port
attributes to a non-aggregated port, including auto-negotiation, speed, Duplex setting, etc.
The device supports the following Aggregation links :
Static LAGs (Port Trunk) – Force aggregared selected ports to be a trounk group.
This function provides to cascade multiple VDSL2 converter to VDSL2 Switch with a double bandwidth.
2 Trunk Group per system, up to 4 ports per Trunk Group.
The Link Aggregation configuration screen in
The page includes the following fields:
Object
• Trunk Group
• Enable / Disable
The VDSL2 Switch Static supports Static Port Trunk mode. The link partner must be set to Static
Port Trunk mode too, it's not able to well work with LCAP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)

Description
Specify the Joined Trunk Group. There're maximum 2 trunk groups per system,
up to 4 ports as a trunk group number. They are identified as:
• Trunk 1: Port 1,2,3,4
• Trunk 2 : Port 5,6,7,8
Trunk Group Enable / Disable control.
The default setting is Disable.
