5.7 Link Aggregation
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized
means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to
allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the
identity of the Link Aggregation Group. It moves the link to that Link
Aggregation Group, and enables its transmission and reception functions in
an orderly manner. In conclusion, Link aggregation lets user group up to eight
consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand
bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex
mode. For more detail information refer to IEEE 802.3ad.
