Creating LAGs
Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port-channels, allow you to combine
multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation
as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. You assign the
LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default becomes a member of the
management VLAN.
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG must
participate in the same protocols. A static port-channel interface does not require a partner system
to be able to aggregate its member ports.
