1.1.3 Consistency Considerations for the Ports in Aggregation
To participate in traffic sharing, member ports in an aggregation group must use the
same configurations with respect to STP, QoS, GVRP, QinQ, BPDU tunnel, VLAN, port
attributes, MAC address learning, and so on as shown in the following table.

1.2 Link Aggregation Classification
Depending on different aggregation modes, the following three types of link
aggregation exist:
Manual aggregation
Static LACP aggregation
Dynamic LACP aggregation
State of port-level STP (enabled or disabled)
Attribute of the link (point-to-point or otherwise) connected to the
port
Port path cost
STP priority
STP packet format
Loop protection
Root protection
Port type (whether the port is an edge port)
Rate limiting
Priority marking
802.1p priority
Congestion avoidance
Traffic redirecting
Traffic accounting
Link type of the ports (trunk, hybrid, or access)
GVRP state on ports (enabled or disabled)
GVRP registration type
GARP timer settings
State of VLAN-VPN (enabled or disabled)
TPID on the ports
