4.4 Link Aggregation
Link aggregation is a function that combines multiple ports into a single logical link. A set of ports that comprise a logical link is
called an aggregation group.
Link aggregation provides:
z Increased bandwidth
By grouping multiple physical ports into a single logical link (an aggregation group), network
traffic (data sent and received) will be balanced across the physical ports, thereby providing
increased bandwidth.
z Redundancy
Multiplexing ports allows uninterrupted network operations should one of the multiple links
fail. Since the link status of the logical aggregation groups remains unchanged, there are
no fluctuations in network traffic, the effect of a fault having been minimized.
Up to 10 ports can be used to create a single link aggregation group using link aggregation. Up to 10 aggregation groups can
be created.
