6-4-3. LACP

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means

for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their

Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the

Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs. Move the link to that Link

Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an

orderly manner. Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports

into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a

device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode. For

more information, please refer to IEEE 802.3ad.
