The wired profile is deleted. Link Aggregation Control Protocol The W-IAP220 Series and W-IAP270 Series support the IEEE 802.11ac standard for high-performance WLAN. To support maximum traffic, port aggregation is required as it increases throughput and enhances reliability. To support port aggregation, Instant supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) based on the IEEE 802.3ad standard. 802.3ad standard for Ethernet aggregation uses LACP as a method to manage link configuration and balance traffic among aggregated ports. LACP provides a standardized means for exchanging information with partner systems to form a dynamic link aggregation group. The LACP feature is automatically enabled during W-IAP boots and it dynamically detects the AP if connected to a partner system with LACP capability, by checking if there is any LACP Protocol Data Unit (PDU) received on either eth0 or eth1 port. If the switch in the cluster has the LACP capability, you can combine eth0 and eth1 interfaces into the link aggregation group to form a single logical interface (port-channel). Port-channels can be used to provide additional bandwidth or link redundancy between two devices. W-IAP supports link aggregation using either standard port-channel (configuration based) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (protocol signaling based). You can deploy W-IAP228 or W-IAP27x series access points with LACP configuration to benefit from the higher (greater than 1 Gbps) aggregate throughput capabilities of the two radios. The LACP feature is supported only on W-IAP228 and W-IAP27x series access points There is no configuration required on the AP for enabling LACP support. However, you can view the status of LACP on W-IAPs by using the following command: (Instant AP)# show lacp status AP LACP Status Link Status LACP Rate Num Ports Actor Key Partner Key Partner MAC Up slow 2 17 1 70:81:05:11:3e:80 Slave Interface Status Slave I/f Name Permanent MAC Addr Link Status Member of LAG Link Fail Count eth0 6c:f3:7f:c6:76:6e Up Yes 0 eth1 6c:f3:7f:c6:76:6f Up Yes 0 Traffic Sent on Enet Ports Radio Num Enet 0 Tx Count Enet 1 Tx Count 0 0 0 1 0 0 non-wifi 2 17 Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.4.3.1-4.2.0.0 | User Guide Wired Profiles | 125
