Configuring Switch Information 313
PowerConnect 6024/6024F supports up to seven LAGs.
Ports can be configured as LACP ports only if the ports are not part of a previously configured
LAG.
Ports added to a LAG lose their individual port configuration. When ports are removed from the
LAG, the original port configuration is applied to the ports.
Your switch uses a hash function to determine which packets are carried on which aggregated-link
member. The hash function statistically load-balances the aggregated link members. The switch
considers an Aggregated Link a single logical port.

Defining LACP Parameters
Aggregate ports can be linked into link-aggregation port-groups. Each group is comprised of ports
with the same speed, set to full-duplex operations.
Ports in a link aggregated group (LAG) can contain different media types if the ports are operating
at the same speed. Aggregated links can be manually or automatically configured by enabling Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the relevant links.
Use the
LACP Parameters
