3 Link Aggregation Link aggregation groups (LAGs), which are also known as port-channels, allow you to combine multiple full-duplex Ethernet links into a single logical link. Network devices treat the aggregation as if it were a single link, which increases fault tolerance and provides load sharing. You can create a LAG that includes two or more ports as members and apply the LAG to a network profile. A LAG can be static or dynamic, and you can configure the LAG as a trunk.
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series Auto-LAG overview An Auto-LAG is a LAG that forms automatically between two devices that support the Auto-LAG feature. An Auto-LAG is a dynamic Layer 2 LAG that is based on the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Note: A LAG is also referred to as a port channel or an EtherChannel. The switch can detect the physical links with a partner device and automatically configure a LAG (that is, an Auto-LAG) on interconnected and capable ports at both ends.
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series Note: The switch can support multiple static and dynamic LAGs, but with each partner device, the switch can support a single Auto-LAG only. Enable or disable Auto-LAGs By default, the Auto-LAG feature is globally enabled but you can globally disable it. To enable or disable Auto-LAGs: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login page displays. 3.
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series and incoming port in the packet. You can change the hash mode (that is, the load balancing mode) for the Auto-LAG feature. The switch balances traffic on a LAG by selecting one of the links in the channel over which packets must be transmitted. The switch selects the link by creating a binary pattern from selected fields in a packet and associating that pattern with a particular link. The hash mode determines which fields in a packet the switch selects.
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series Create a LAG Although the maximum number of LAGs that you can create and add is eight, the actual number of LAGs is limited by the number of ports that are available. When you create a LAG, we recommend that you configure a network profile on the LAG rather than on a physical interface. By default, the network profile for a LAG is the default profile, which is the Management VLAN profile. To create a LAG: 1. Launch a web browser. 2.
AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series • Layer 3+4; Source + Destination: Based on the source and destination IP addresses and source and destination TCP or UDP port field in the packet. The switch balances traffic on a LAG by selecting one of the links in the channel over which packets must be transmitted. The switch selects the link by creating a binary pattern from selected fields in a packet and associating that pattern with a particular link.
