Configuring Link Aggregation

Use the Link Aggregation page to group multiple Ethernet links into a single logical
channel. Link aggregation groups improve the cost effectiveness of your device
by increasing cumulative bandwidth without requiring hardware upgrades, and
facilitates easy rerouting in case of a single port or cable failure.
The port speed. If no device is connected to the
port, this field displays Down.
Choose from the drop-down menu one of the
following port speeds:
• Auto Negotiation—The device and the
connected device choose a common speed.
• 10Mbps Half—10 Mbps in both directions,
but only one direction at a time.
• 10Mbps Full—10 Mbps in both directions
simultaneously.
• 100Mbps Half—100 Mbps in both
directions, but only one direction at a time.
• 100Mbps Full—100 Mbps in both
directions simultaneously.
Check to enable jumbo frames on the device and
send frames within the LAN containing up to 9,000
bytes of data per frame. A standard Ethernet frame
contains 1,500 bytes of data.
Check to enable flow control for this port.
Flow control is the process of managing the rate of
data transmission between two nodes to prevent a
fast sender from outrunning a slow receiver. It
provides a mechanism for the receiver to control
the transmission speed, so that the receiving node
is not overwhelmed with data from the transmitting
node.
