Netgear M4100-D12G (GSM5212v1h1) - 10‐port GE + 2 GE Combo L2 Managed PD Switch Guía Del Software

This section describes the commands you use to configure port-channels, which are also 
known as link aggregation groups (LAGs). Link aggregation allows you to combine multiple 
full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if 
it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. The LAG 
feature initially load shares traffic based upon the source and destination MAC address. 

Assign the port-channel (LAG) VLAN membership after you create a port-channel. If you do 

not assign VLAN membership, the port-channel might become a member of the 
management VLAN which can result in learning and switching issues.

A port-channel (LAG) interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a 

port channel must participate in the same protocols.) A static port-channel interface does not 
require a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.

If you configure the maximum number of dynamic port-channels 
(LAGs) that your platform supports, additional port-channels that you 
configure are automatically static.

This command adds one port to the port-channel (LAG). The interface is a logical slot/port 
number or a group ID of a configured port-channel.

Before adding a port to a port-channel, set the physical mode of the 
port. For more information, see 

22.

This command deletes the port from the port-channel (LAG). The interface is a logical 
slot/port number or a group ID of a configured port-channel.
