Chapter 5 Tutorials 2 Configure static trunking - Click Configuration > Aggregation > Static. In this screen select the traffic distribution type(s) used by this group and select the ports that should belong to this group as shown in the figure below. Packets from the same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. If the Switch is behind a router, the packet's destination or source MAC address will be changed. In this case, set the Switch to distribute traffic based on its IP address to make sure port trunking can work properly. Click Save when you are done. 5.9.2 Dynamic Port Trunking When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an operational port fails, then one of the "standby" ports become operational without user intervention. Please note that: • You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet Switch and configure the ports for LACP trunking. • LACP only works on full-duplex links. • All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow control settings.

Dynamic Port Trunking
When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the
ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that
is, if an operational port fails, then one of the “standby” ports become operational without user
intervention. Please note that:
You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet Switch and configure the ports for
LACP trunking.
LACP only works on full-duplex links.
All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow
control settings.
