DMS-3130 Series Multi-Gigabit L3 Stackable Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat a link aggregation group as a single link. If two redundant link aggregation groups are configured on the Switch, STP will block one entire group; in the same way STP will block a single port that has a redundant link. NOTE: If any ports within the trunk group become disconnected, packets intended for the disconnected port will be load shared among the other linked ports of the link aggregation group. This window is used to display and configure the link aggregation settings. To view the following window, click L2 Features > Link Aggregation, as shown below: Figure 5-60 Link Aggregation Window The fields that can be configured for Link Aggregation are described below: Parameter System Priority Load Balance Algorithm Description Enter the system priority value used here. This value must be between 1 and 65535. By default, this value is 32768. The system priority determines which ports can join a port-channel and which ports are put in the stand-alone mode. The lower value has a higher priority. If two or more ports have the same priority, the port number determines the priority. Select the load balancing algorithm that will be used here. Options to choose from are Source MAC, Destination MAC, Source Destination MAC, Source IP, Destination IP, Source Destination IP, Source L4 Port, Destination L4 Port, and Source Destination L4 Port. By default, this option is Source Destination MAC. Click the Apply button to accept the changes made. The fields that can be configured for Channel Group Information are described below: Parameter Unit From Port - To Port Group ID Description Select the Switch unit that will be used for this configuration here. This option is only available when stacking is enabled. Select the list of ports that will be associated with this configuration here. Enter the channel group number here. This value must be between 1 and 32. The system will automatically create the port-channel when a physical port first joins a channel group. An interface can only join one channel-group. 162
