Monitor: Link Aggregation
Overview
This section provides information for Link Aggregation in Monitor.
Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. A trunk group is one logical link containing multiple ports.
The Switch supports both static and dynamic link aggregation.
In a properly planned network, it is recommended to implement static link aggregation only. This ensures increased network stability and control over the trunk groups on your Switch.Link Aggregation
Use the Link Aggregation screens to view Switch link aggregation status. Click Monitor > Link Aggregation.
Each field is described in the following table.
Label | Description |
|---|---|
LAG | Displays the link aggregation status index value. |
Name | This field displays the name. |
Type | This field displays the type. |
Link Status | This field displays the status of the link. It displays Up when the port is linked up or Down when it is not. When no any physical port is binding with this group, it displays NotPresent. |
Active Member | Displays if this member is an active member of a trunk. |
Standby Member | Displays if this member is an standby member of a trunk. |
