10.2.1 Port Grouping Overview

Use port grouping to create port groups and to assign physical ports and port groups to Ethernet
interfaces.
Each physical port is assigned to one Ethernet interface. In port grouping, the Ethernet interfaces
are called representative interfaces. If you assign more than one physical port to a
representative interface, you create a port group. Port groups have the following characteristics:
• There is a layer-2 Ethernet switch between physical ports in the port group. This provides wire-
speed throughput but no security.
• It can increase the bandwidth between the port group and other interfaces.

10.2.2 Port Grouping Screen

To access this screen, click Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Grouping. Define the
relationship between physical ports, port groups, and Ethernet interfaces in the Port Grouping
screen.
Figure 80 Configuration > Network > Interface > Port Grouping
The physical Ethernet ports are shown at the bottom and the Ethernet interfaces are shown at the
top of the screen. To add a physical port to a representative interface, drag the physical port onto
the corresponding representative interface.
