Netgear M4300-24X24F (XSM4348S) - Stackable Managed Switch with 48x10G including 24x10GBASE-T and 24xSFP+ Layer 3 Manual Do Utilizador

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.

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.

You can 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.
