Chapter 4 LinkAggregation Feature
4.1 About LinkAggregation Feature
This section explains the LinkAggregation feature.
- LinkAggregation feature:
The communication bandwidth and network reliability(*) can be improved by bundling two
or more network interfaces as one logical interface (up to 8 physical interfaces can be
bundled). It is effective when handling a lot of data, or when offering large-scale customer
service.
With this version, only static aggregation is supported. Dynamic Link Aggregation Control
Protocol(LACP) specified by IEEE802.3ad is not supported.
*1: As long as there is at least one transmission path available, communication can be
continued.
*2: The interface which can be made a group by FUJITSU PCI GigabitEthernet is only a fjgi
interface.
