GS108T and GS110TP 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 GS108T and GS110TP Smart Switches each support four LAGs. From the LAGs link, you can access the following pages: • "LAG Configuration" on page 3-5 • "LAG Membership" on page 3-7 • "LACP Configuration" on page 3-8 • "LACP Port Configuration" on page 3-9 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. Configuring Switching Information 3-5 v1.0, April 2010
