aggregated links. For example, an aggregated link consisting of two 1000 Mbit/sec
ports can support an aggregate bandwidth of 4 Gbit/sec when operating at full
duplex.
Guidelines for Creating Aggregated Links
Finish configuring aggregated links before you connect the corresponding
network cables between switches to avoid creating a loop.
An aggregated link can contain up to four up-link ports or up to two down-link
ports.
The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as aggregated link
ports.
All ports in an aggregated link must be configured in an identical manner,
including communication mode (that is, speed, duplex mode and flow control),
VLAN assignments, and COS settings.
All the ports in an aggregated link have to be treated as a whole when moved
from or to, or added or deleted from a VLAN through the specified port-channel.
STP, VLAN, and IGMP settings can only be made for the entire aggregated link
through the specified port-channel.
