34 CHAPTER 2: OPTIMIZING BANDWIDTH s When multiple links of different speed connect two devices only the highest speed links will be aggregated. The other links will be held in a standby state until there is a problem with a higher speed link(s). The lower speed link(s) will then become active. s Note that resilient links must be disabled on any port that is to become part of an aggregated link. It is not possible to configure resilient links on a port that is a member of an aggregated link, and vice versa. s A LinkUp / LinkDown trap will only be sent for individual links. The Traps will not be sent for an aggregation. When setting up an aggregated link, note that: s The ports at both ends of a member link must be configured as members of an aggregated link, if you are manually configuring aggregated links. s A member link port can only belong to one aggregated link. s The member link ports can be mixed media, that is fiber and/or twisted pair ports within the same aggregated link. s The member link ports can have different port configurations within the same aggregated link, that is, auto-negotiation, port speed, and duplex mode. However, please note the following: s To be an active participant in an aggregated link the member link ports must operate in full duplex mode. (If a member link port does not operate in full duplex mode it can still be a member of an aggregated link but it will never be activated.) s If ports of a different speed are aggregated together, the higher speed links carry the traffic. The lower speed links only carry the traffic if the higher speed links fail. s Aggregated links and resilient links are mutually exclusive, that is, you cannot have both these features operating on the same ports. s Aggregated links and roving analysis are mutually exclusive, that is, you cannot have both these features operating on the same ports. s Aggregated links and port security are mutually exclusive, that is, you cannot have both these features operating on the same ports. s The port to which the Webcache is connected cannot be a member of an aggregated link.
