Defining LAG Management

The LAG Management page displays the global and per LAG settings. The page also enables you to configure the global setting and to select and edit the desired LAG on the Edit LAG Membership page.

To select the load balancing algorithm of the LAG:

  1. Click Port Management > Link Aggregation > LAG Management. The LAG Management page opens.
  2. Select one of the following Load Balance Algorithms:
    • MAC Address--Perform loading balancing by source and destination MAC addresses on all packets.
    • IP/MAC Address--Perform load balancing by the source and destination IP addresses on IP packets, and by the source and destination MAC addresses on non-IP packets
  3. Click Apply. The Load Balance Algorithm is defined, and the Running Configuration file is updated.

To define the member or candidate ports in a LAG.

  1. Select the LAG to be configured, and click Edit. The Edit LAG Membership page opens.
  2. Enter the values for the following fields:
    • LAG--Select the LAG number.
    • LAG Name--Enter the LAG name or a comment.
    • LACP--Select to enable LACP on the selected LAG. This makes it a dynamic LAG. This field can only be enabled after moving a port to the LAG in the next field.
    • Port List--Move those ports that are to be assigned to the LAG from the Port List to the LAG Members list. Up to eight ports per static LAG can be assigned, and 16 ports can be assigned to a dynamic LAG.
  3. Click Apply. The LAG membership is defined, and the Running Configuration file is updated.
