Click Save. 8.3.3 Aggregating Switch Ports Port aggregation allows users to link multiple physical ports together as one logical link to increase port bandwidth and redundancy in the event of a single physical link failure. Ports can be aggregated using either LACP or static link. Note: Aggregated ports must maintain the same settings, otherwise users will not be permitted to aggregate multiple ports in one group. Note: Port aggregation is not supported if the port type is set to "Access". To configure the port type, refer to the Configuring Local Port Settings for One or More Switch Ports section on page 68 for more information.
