4.4 Link Aggregation
Link aggregation is a function that combines multiple ports into a single logical link. A set of ports that comprise a logical link is
called an Aggregation Group.
Link aggregation provides:
Increased bandwidth
By grouping multiple physical ports into a single logical link (an aggregation group), you can balance network traffic
(data to send and receive) across the physical ports, which provides increased bandwidth.
Redundancy
Multiplexing ports allows uninterrupted network operations should one of the multiple ports fail or a failure occurs.
Since the link status of the logical aggregation groups remains unchanged, there are no fluctuations in the network, the
effect of a fault having been minimized.
Up to 6 ports can be used to create a single link aggregation group using Link Aggregation. Up to 6 aggregation groups can be
created.
