LAG
A Link Aggregated Group (LAG) optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to
form a single LAG. Aggregating ports multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases
port flexibility, and provides link redundancy. Ports added to a LAG lose their individual port
configuration. When ports are removed from the LAG, the original port configuration is applied to
the ports. Ensure the following, when configuring LAGs:
• All ports within a LAG must be of the same media type.
• A VLAN is not configured on the port.
• The port is not assigned to a different LAG.
• Auto-negotiation mode is not configured on the port.
• The port is in full-duplex mode.
• All ports in the LAG have the same ingress filtering and tagged modes.
• All ports in the LAG have the same back pressure and flow control modes.
• All ports in the LAG have the same priority.
• All ports in the LAG have the same transceiver type.
• The device supports up to eight LAGs with eight ports in each LAG.
• LACP LAGs support up to 16 ports, with eight ports active at any given time.
The LAG menu contains the following options:
• “Basic”
• “Advanced”
