Link Aggregation
Link aggregation allows several ports to be grouped together so that they can act as a single port.
This is done to either increase the bandwidth of a network connection or to increase fault tolerance.
Link Aggregation is most commonly used to link a bandwidth-intensive network device or devices
—such as a server or server farm—to the backbone of a network.
You can configure up to six aggregation groups, each using from two to eight ports between any
two ZT 8101 switches or other devices that support 802.1ad Link Aggregation.
To configure a link aggregation group
1. From the Main Menu, select Link Aggregation and press Enter.
2. Configure these fields.
Field Description
Ingress Checking
Enables or disables ingress filter checking. Ingress filtering allows the port
to compare the VID tag of an incoming packet with the PVID number
assigned to the port. If the two are different, the port filters (drops) the
packet. Use the spacebar to toggle between On and Off.
GVRP
Enables or disables GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol). This allows
the switch to share VLAN information with other switches so that a VLAN
can span multiple switches.
Field Description
Group ID
Specifies one of the six possible link aggregation groups configurable on the
switch.
