Chapter 2 Link Aggregation Configuration
2.1 Link Aggregation Overview
The link aggregation means aggregating several ports together to implement the
outgoing/incoming payload balance among the member ports and enhance the
connection reliability.
An S5012G/S5012T-12/10GBC Ethernet Switch supports at most six aggregated
groups, with each group containing a maximum of eight fixed ports. The port numbers
in a group must be consecutive, but no special restrictions on the starting port.
An S5024G-24/20TP Ethernet Switch supports at most twelve aggregated groups, with
each group containing a maximum of eight fixed ports. The port numbers in a group
must be consecutive, but no special restrictions on the starting port.
In a link aggregation group, the port with the smallest number serves as the master port,
and the others serve as member ports. In one link aggregation group, the link type of
the master port and the member ports must be identical. That is, the master port and
the member ports should be in Trunk mode together, or be in Access mode together.
2.2 Link Aggregation Configuration
Link aggregation configuration includes:
z
Aggregate Ethernet ports
2.2.1 Aggregate Ethernet Ports
The following command can be used for aggregating Ethernet ports or removing a
configured link aggregation.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
Table 2-1 Aggregating Ethernet ports
Operation
Command
Aggregate Ethernet ports
link-aggregation port_num1 to port_num2 { both | ingress }
Remove a configured link aggregation
undo link-aggregation { master_port_num | all }
Note that only those Ethernet ports with the same speed and in full duplex mode can be
aggregated.
