8 Configuring Static Link
Aggregation
The OmniSwitch implementation of static link aggregation software allows you to combine several
physical links into one large virtual link known as a link aggregation group. Using link aggregation
provides the following benefits:
• Scalability. It is possible to configure a maximum number of link aggregation groups as mentioned in
the “Network Configuration Specifications” chapter of the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Specifications
Guide.
• Reliability. A link aggregate can operate even if one of the physical links, that is part of the link
aggregate group, gets disabled.
• Ease of Migration. Link aggregation can ease the transition to higher bandwidth backbones.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes the basic components of static link aggregation and how to configure them through
the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more
details about the syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 CLI Reference Guide.
Configuration procedures described in this chapter include:
• “Configuring Static Link Aggregation Groups” .
• “Adding and Deleting Ports in a Static Aggregate Group”.
• “Modifying Static Aggregation Group Parameters”.
