• Increased bandwidth: The aggregated physical links deliver higher bandwidth than each individual link. • Incremental increase in bandwidth: A physical upgrade could produce a 10-times increase in bandwidth; LAG produces a two- or five-times increase, useful if only a small increase is needed. Management functions treat a port-channel as if it were a single physical port. You can include a port-channel in a VLAN. You can configure more than one port-channel for a given switch.
