ProSAFE 8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP 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. The switch supports static LAGs. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, the port neither transmits nor receives LACPDUs. Model GS418TPP supports eight LAGs. Models GS510TLP and GS510TPP support five LAGs.
