In order to configure 2 or more ports (up to 8) to be a port aggregate, simply navigate to Switching > Monitor > Switch ports and select the target ports, then choose "Aggregate". It is recommended that you do not have the target ports physically connected to anything during this. Aggregation and access devices downstream to the core layer can automatically go online through Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). This section describes three automatic deployment modes, which can be selected based on the site requirements. Import information using the network plan template. Device. Static LAG (Link Aggregation Group) Configurations: These require manual configuration on both ends of the link, which can be prone to misconfiguration and do not provide automatic failover. While there are many approaches, this article. LAG is short for link aggregation group, including static LAG and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) two achievement mechanisms. 3ad, is used to combine multiple physical links dynamically as a logical link, and thus this logical link will have higher bandwidth and. If the trunk is in LACP mode and has ports with different speeds, the ports of the same negotiated speed are grouped in an aggregator.
