Link Aggregation Configuration
This chapter contains a complete sample Link Aggregation Group configuration.
LACP is based on the 802.3ad IEEE specification. It allows bundling of several physical interfaces to form a single logical channel providing enhanced performance and redundancy. The aggregated interface is viewed as a single link to each switch. The spanning tree views it as one interface and not as two or three interfaces. When there is a failure in one physical interface, the other interfaces stay up and there is no disruption. Traffic can be load balanced within an LACP trunk group in a controlled manner using the hashing algorithm.The maximum number of physical Ethernet links in a single logical channel depends upon the hardware support.
Note:
• Physical interfaces will inherit the properties of LAG port once it is attached to be part of LAG, irrespective of the configuration present on the physical interface.
• In case of Dynamic LAG and Static LAG, member ports could be moved from one LAG to another LAG, without unconfiguring the member port.
• LAG port should be configured as a switch or router port, before adding member ports into it.
