Netgear GSM7228PS - ProSAFE 28 ports Gigabit Ethernet L2 Managed Stackable Switch with PoE Guía De Administador

Better use of physical resources. Traffic can be load-balanced across the physical links.

Increased bandwidth. The aggregated physical links deliver higher bandwidth than each 

individual link. 

Incremental increase in bandwidth. A physical upgrade could produce a tenfold increase 

in bandwidth; LAG produces a two- or fivefold increase, useful if only a small increase is 
needed.

Create Two LAGs

The example is shown as CLI commands and as a Web interface procedure.

CLI: Create Two LAGs

(Netgear Switch) #config

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#port-channel lag_10

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#port-channel lag_20

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit

Use the show port-channel all command to show the logical interface IDs you will use to 
identify the LAGs in subsequent commands. Assume that lag_10 is assigned ID 1/1, and 
lag_20 is assigned ID 1/2.

(Console) #show port-channel all
