Link Aggregation Group Overview
Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port channels, allow 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. You assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG. The LAG by default
becomes a member of the management VLAN.

becomes a member of the management VLAN.
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG 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.

Static LAGs are supported. When a port is added to a LAG as a static member, it neither
transmits nor receives LACPDUs.

Configure LAG Settings
You can use LAGs to group one or more full-duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together
to form a link aggregation group, which is also known as a port channel. The switch treats the
LAG as if it were a single link.
