Port Channel Status
Use the Port Channel Status page to group one or more full duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together
to form a port-channel, which is also known as a link aggregation group (LAG). The switch can treat the port-
channel as if it were a single link.
To access the Port Channel Status page, click LAN > Monitoring > Trunking > Status in the navigation tree.
