Configuring a Manual Aggregation Group
You can create a manual aggregation group, or remove an existing manual aggregation group (after
that, all the member ports will be removed from the group).
For a manual aggregation group, a port can only be manually added/removed to/from the manual
aggregation group.
Follow these steps to configure a manual aggregation group:

Note that:

z If the aggregation group you are creating already exists but contains no port, its type will change to
the type you set.
z If the aggregation group you are creating already exists and contains ports, the possible type
changes may be: changing from dynamic or static to manual, and changing from dynamic to static;
and no other kinds of type change can occur.
