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.

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.
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.
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:
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.
A member link port can only belong to one aggregated link.
The member link ports can be mixed media, that is fiber and/or
twisted pair ports within the same aggregated link.
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:
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.)
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.
Aggregated links and resilient links are mutually exclusive, that is, you
cannot have both these features operating on the same ports.
Aggregated links and roving analysis are mutually exclusive, that is,
you cannot have both these features operating on the same ports.
Aggregated links and port security are mutually exclusive, that is, you
cannot have both these features operating on the same ports.
The port to which the Webcache is connected cannot be a member of
an aggregated link.
