3. Select the boxes of interfaces to be assigned to the collaboration group.
The number of interfaces assigned to the collaboration group must be no more than the maximum
supported interface number displayed on the page.
4. Click Apply.
When you assign interfaces to a collaboration group, follow these guidelines:
• A port can belong to only one collaboration group.
• Do not assign the port that is used to log in to the Web interface and ports that are down to the
same collaboration group. Otherwise, the device will be disconnected.
• When a device is connected to another device through multiple interface, do not assign these
interfaces to the same collaboration group. Otherwise, when one interface goes down, its peer
interface on the remote device might be set to the Linkgroup-down state. In that case, all the
interfaces might fail to be brought up.
