Static and Dynamic LAG Workflow
After a LAG has been manually created, LACP cannot be added or removed until
the LAG is edited and a member is removed. Only then the LACP button become
available for editing.
To configure a static LAG, perform the following actions:
1. Disable LACP on the LAG to make it static. Assign up to eight member ports to
the static LAG by selecting and moving the ports from the Port List to the LAG
Members list. Select the load balancing algorithm for the LAG. Perform these
actions in the LAG Management page.
2. Configure various aspects of the LAG, such as speed and flow control by using
the LAG Settings page.
To configure a dynamic LAG, perform the following actions:
1. Enable LACP on the LAG. Assign up to 16 candidates ports to the dynamic LAG
by selecting and moving the ports from the Port List to the LAG Members List
by using the LAG Management page.
2. Configure various aspects of the LAG, such as speed and flow control by using
the LAG Settings page.
3. Set the LACP priority and timeout of the ports in the LAG by using the LACP
page.
Defining LAG Management
The LAG Management page displays the global and per LAG settings. The page
