A Link Aggregated Group (LAG) optimizes port usage by linking a group of ports together to 
form a single LAG. Aggregating ports multiplies the bandwidth between the devices, increases 
port flexibility, and provides link redundancy. Ports added to a LAG lose their individual port 
configuration. When ports are removed from the LAG, the original port configuration is applied to 
the ports. Ensure the following, when configuring LAGs:

•

All ports within a LAG must be of the same media type.

•

A VLAN is not configured on the port.

•

The port is not assigned to a different LAG.

•

Auto-negotiation mode is not configured on the port.

•

The port is in full-duplex mode.

•

All ports in the LAG have the same ingress filtering and tagged modes.

•

All ports in the LAG have the same back pressure and flow control modes.

•

All ports in the LAG have the same priority.

•

All ports in the LAG have the same transceiver type.

•

The device supports up to eight LAGs with eight ports in each LAG.

•

LACP LAGs support up to 16 ports, with eight ports active at any given time.

The LAG menu contains the following options:
