• Dot1x • SNMP • SSH • General System Information (Read-Only) • HTTP Server • Port Aggregator (Available only in Simple mode) NOTE: The default username (root) and password (calvin) is not available in Simple mode. A user with privilege level of 15 must be configured to access the switch management interface from a remote connection. For information about configuring a user, see "Controlling Management Access" on page 171. What is the Port Aggregator Feature? The Port Aggregator feature provides administrators the ability to map internal ports to external ports without having to know anything about STP, VLANs, Link Aggregation or other L2/L3 protocols. Port Aggregator is completely interoperable. Dynamic (via LACP) and static LAGs are supported. NOTE: The Port Aggregator feature is only available when the switch is operating in Simple mode, which is disabled by default. For information about changing the mode, see "Operational Mode Configuration" on page 291 (Web) or "Configuring the Operational Mode and Port Aggregator Features" on page 316 (CLI). A stand-alone switch in Simple mode supports up to eight Aggregator Groups, and a stack supports up to 6 × Aggregator Groups. For example, in a stack of four units, the maximum number of Aggregator Groups is 24. On a 12-unit stack, the maximum number of groups is 72. The number of internal ports in an Aggregator Group can include 1 up to the total number of available internal ports. The number of external ports that can be included in a group is limited to the maximum number of ports that can be included in a LAG.
