4-2-5. Aggregation
The Aggregation (Port Trunking) Configuration is used to configure the
settings of Link Aggregation. You can bundle ports by same speed, MAC, and full
duplex to be a single logical port, thus the logical port can aggregate the bandwidth
of these ports. This means you can apply your current Ethernet equipments to build
the bandwidth aggregation. For example, if three Fast Ethernet ports are
aggregated into a logical port, then this logical port’s bandwidth would be as three
times high as a single Fast Ethernet port’s.
Function name:
Aggregation Configuration
Function description:
Display the current setup of Aggregation Trunking. With this function, user is
allowed to add a new trunking group or modify the members of an existed
trunking group.
Parameter description:
Normal:
Set up the ports that do not join any aggregation trunking group.
Group 1~8:
Group the ports you choose together. Up to 12 ports can be selected for
each group.

4-2-6. LACP
Smart Web Switch supports link aggregation IEEE802.3ad standard. The
standard describes Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP) which dynamically
creates and manages trunk groups.
When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically
negotiate with the ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP
also allows port redundancy, that is, if an operational port fails, then one of the
“standby” ports become operational without user intervention.
