Link Aggregation

Link aggregation is a function that combines multiple ports into a single logical link. A set of ports that comprise a logical

link are called an aggregation group.

Link aggregation provides:

Increased bandwidth

By grouping multiple physical ports into a single logical link (an aggregation group), network traffic (data sent and

received) will be balanced across the physical ports, thereby providing increased bandwidth.

Multiplexing ports allows uninterrupted network operations should one of the multiple links fail. Since the link status

of the logical aggregation groups remains unchanged, there are no fluctuations in network traffic, the effect of a fault

having been minimized.

Up to 10 ports can be used to create a single link aggregation group using link aggregation. Up to 10 aggregation groups

can be created.
