Adding a LAG
Link aggregation is a mechanism to bundle several physical ports together to form a single logical
channel or trunk. The collection of ports is called a link aggregation group (LAG).
NOTE
An internal port cannot be part of a LAG. You can create LAGs with external ports only.
The Add LAG button is enabled when a single DCB switch or ports of a single DCB switch are
selected. The Add LAG button is disabled when multiple switches are selected, ports from different
switches are selected, or LAGs are selected.
The Edit button is enabled when a single LAG, port, or switch is selected.
1. Select Configure > DCB from the menu bar.
The DCB Configuration dialog box displays, showing the status of all DCB-related hardware and
functions.
2. Select the DCB switch or one or more DCB ports to add to a link aggregation group (LAG).
3. Click Add LAG.
The Add LAG dialog box displays.
