Aggregation
This screen lets you create port trunks so multiple links can be bundled to act as a
single physical link for increased throughput, providing load balancing and redundancy
of links in a switched inter-network. Actually, the link doesn’t have an inherent total
bandwidth equal to the sum of its component physical links. Trafc in a trunk is
distributed across an individual link in a deterministic method called a hash algorithm,
which automatically applies load balancing to the ports. A port failure within the
trunk group causes the network trafc to be directed to the remaining ports. Load
balancing is maintained whenever a link in a trunk is lost or returned to service.
Aggregation / Trunking Conguration
To assign a port to a trunk, click the required trunk number, then click Apply

LACP
The IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) increases bandwidth
by automatically aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and
