FS728TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual Link Aggregation Groups Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port-channels, allow you to combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default becomes a member of the management VLAN. A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must participate in the same protocols. A static port-channel interface does not require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports. Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither transmits nor receives LAGPDUs. The FS728TP Smart Switch supports four LAGs. From the LAGs link, you can access the following pages: • LAG Configuration on page 77 • LAG Membership on page 78 • LACP Configuration on page 80 • LACP Port Configuration on page 81 LAG Configuration Use the LAG (Port Channel) Configuration page to group one or more full-duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form a link aggregation group, which is also known as a port-channel. The switch treats the LAG as if it were a single link. To access the LAG Configuration page, click Switching LAG  Basic  LAG Configuration. Chapter 3: Configuring Switching Information | 77

Link Aggregation Groups

Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port-channels, allow you to

combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the

aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load

sharing. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default

becomes a member of the management VLAN.

A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must

participate in the same protocols. A static port-channel interface does not require a partner

system to be able to aggregate its member ports.

Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither

transmits nor receives LAGPDUs. The FS728TP Smart Switch supports four LAGs.

From the LAGs link, you can access the following pages:

•

LAG Configuration

LAG Configuration

Use the LAG (Port Channel) Configuration page to group one or more full-duplex Ethernet

links to be aggregated together to form a link aggregation group, which is also known as a

port-channel. The switch treats the LAG as if it were a single link.
