Configuring Link Aggregation (J-Web Procedure)

Use the link aggregation feature to aggregate one or more links to form a virtual link or aggregation group. The MAC client can treat this virtual link as if it were a single link. Link aggregation increases bandwidth, provides graceful degradation as failure occurs, and increases availability.

Note: Interfaces that are already configured with MTU, speed, duplex, auto-negotiation, flow-control, and logical interfaces are not available for aggregation.

To configure link aggregation:

1. From the Configure menu, select Interfaces > Link Aggregation.

   The Aggregated Interfaces list is displayed.

2. Click one:
   • Add—Creates an aggregated interface.

     Add a description for the aggregation. Click >> or << to move interfaces between the Available Interfaces and Member Interfaces columns. Click Activate Aggregated Link to activate the link.

   • Edit > Edit Aggregation—Modifies an existing aggregation.
   • Edit > VLAN Options—Specifies VLAN options for the aggregation. See Table 1 for details on the options.
   • Delete—Deletes an aggregation.
   • Enable Port/Disable Port —Enables or disables the administrative status on the selected port.
