How to Configure LAG
This document describes how to configure Link Aggregation (LAG) between two NETGEAR
managed switches. LAG is sometimes referred to as a port channel or a trunk (please note that a
trunk in the Link Aggregation sense is not to be confused with a trunk in terms of passing multiple
VLAN traffic over a single link).
LAG allows a switch to treat multiple physical links between two end-points as a single logical
link. All of the physical links in a LAG
must
operate in full-duplex mode at the same speed.
LAG improves the bandwidth between two end-points and adds redundancy.
In this example we will configure a LAG between the following switches:
•
FSM7328PS (Switch 1)
•
FSM7328S (Switch 2)
We will use 2 gigabit ports - ports 25 and 26 on each switch.
It is best not to connect the links between the LAG ports on each switch until the configuration
has been applied on each switch. This is to prevent a loop (unless of course spanning tree
protocol is being used).
