Static Trunk
For some networking applications, a situation can arise where traffic from multiple ports is required to be
filtered through one port. For example, if there are 30 UHD IP surveillance cameras deployed and connected
in a ring, the traffic can reach up to 1 Gbps, causing a surge in traffic that can increase network loading by
up to 50%. Hence, the uplink port needs to use the static trunk function to provide more bandwidth and
redundancy protection.
LACP
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows a network device to negotiate an automatic bundling of
several ports by sending LACP packets to the peer, a directly connected device that also uses LACP.
Link Aggregation Settings
This section describes how to configure link aggregation for each port. Click Link Aggregation on the menu
and then click the + icon on the configuration page.
