GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches 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 does not transmit or receive LAGPDUs. This switch supports eight LAGs. From the LAGs menu, you can access features described in the following sections: • LAG Configuration • LAG Membership • LACP Configuration • LACP Port Configuration LAG Configuration Use the LAG Configuration screen to group one or more full-duplex Ethernet links to aggregate 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 configure LAG settings: 1. Select Switching LAG Basic LAG Configuration. Configuring Switching Information 77
