Configuring Switch Information

PowerConnect 6024/6024F supports up to seven LAGs.
Ports can be configured as LACP ports only if the ports are not part of a previously configured 
LAG.
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.
Your switch uses a hash function to determine which packets are carried on which aggregated-link 
member. The hash function statistically load-balances the aggregated link members. The switch 
considers an Aggregated Link a single logical port. 
To open the Link Aggregation page, click Switch
→ Link Aggregation in the tree view. 
Defining LACP Parameters
Aggregate ports can be linked into link-aggregation port-groups. Each group is comprised of ports 
with the same speed, set to full-duplex operations.
Ports in a link aggregated group (LAG) can contain different media types if the ports are operating 
at the same speed. Aggregated links can be manually or automatically configured by enabling Link 
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on the relevant links. 
Use the LACP Parameters page to configure LACP LAGs. To open the LACP Parameters page, 
click Switch
→ Link Aggregation→ LACP Parameters in the tree view.
