Configuration is updated.
The Suspended (errDisabled) Interface Table displays a list of suspended ports.
To manually reactivate a suspended port, select the desired port, and click
Reactivate.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of an IEEE specification (802.3az)
that allows you to bundle several physical ports together to form a single logical
channel. Link aggregation optimizes port usage by linking multiple ports together
to form a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). LAGs multiply the bandwidth, increase
port flexibility, and provide link redundancy between two devices.
Two types of LAGs are supported:
•
Static—A LAG is static if the LACP is disabled. The group of ports assigned
to a static LAG are always active members. After a LAG is manually created,
the LACP option cannot be added or removed, until the LAG is edited and a
member is removed (which can be added prior to applying), then the LACP
button become available for editing.
•
Dynamic—A LAG is dynamic if LACP is enabled on it. The group of ports
assigned to dynamic LAG are candidate ports. LACP determines which
candidate ports are active member ports. The non-active candidate ports
are standby ports ready to replace any failing active member ports.
This section describes how to configure the link aggregation features and includes
the following topics:
•
