Click the radio button that corresponds to the desired LAG status in the Administrative Status field. (Optional) Enter a name for the LAG in the Description field. The Lag Type field displays the types of ports that comprise the LAG. (Optional) From the LAG drop-down list choose a LAG to configure. Click the radio button of the LAG you want to edit. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Port Management > Link Aggregation > LAG Settings. Click > to make the specified ports members of the LAG. Choose the ports that you would like to add to the LAG in the Port List field. Note: LACP can only be enabled before ports are added to the LAG. LACP allows the LAG to have up to 16 ports.
(Optional) Check LACP to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the LAG. (Optional) Enter a name for the LAG in the LAG Name field. (Optional) From the LAG drop-down list choose the LAG you want to configure. IP / MAC Address - Load balancing is performed based on the source and destination IP addresses of IP packets and by the source and destination MAC addresses on non-IP packets.MAC Address - Load balancing is performed based on the source and destination MAC addresses of all packets.Load Balancing is a method that maximizes throughput on a network to optimize resource usage. Click the respective radio button of the desired algorithm in the Load Balance Algorithm field. Log in to the web configuration utility and choose Port Management > Link Aggregation > LAG Management.
The article explains how to configure LAG Management, Lag Settings, and LACP on the 200/300 Series Managed Switches. LACP is also used to determine which ports of a dynamic LAG are active. Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of an IEEE specification (802.3ad) that is used to bundle several physical ports to form a single logical channel. LAGs multiply bandwidth, increase port flexibility, and provide link redundancy between two devices to optimize port usage. Link Aggregate Group (LAG) Configuration on 200/300 Series Managed Switches ObjectiveĪ Link Aggregate Group (LAG) is used to link multiple ports together.
