4.5.2 Link aggregation static
The page configures the link aggregation static group (port trunking). The switch
provides maximum 32 link aggregation groups. This maximum can be achieved
on stacking configuration. For standalone GX3112 or GX3112F, the maximum
group is 6 since it supplies 12 ports only and up to 8 ports per group.
Port Selection Criterion: the algorithm to distribute packets among the
ports of the link aggregation group according to source MAC address,
destination MAC address, source and destination MAC address, source IP
address, destination IP address, or source and destination IP address.
Trunk ID: a number to identify the trunk group besides the group name
Port: these port icons are listed the same way as on the front panel. You
have to click on the icon to select the group members. The port can be
removed from the group by clicking the selected port again.
Click OK to make the setting send to the connected switch. Click Reload to
refresh the settings to current value. To make the configuration effective, go to
“Save Configuration” page, and click Save.
You have to check the runtime link speed and duplex mode to make sure the
trunk is physically active. Go to Physical Interface and check the link mode in
the runtime status window for the trunk ports. If all the trunk members are in the
same speed and full duplex mode, then the trunk group is set up successfully.
If one of the members is not in the same speed or full duplex mode, the trunk
is not set correctly. Check the link partner and change the settings to have the
same speed and full duplex mode for all the members of your trunk group.
Edge Port: An edge port is the same as a Port Fast-enabled port, and you
should enable it only on ports that connect to a single end station.
Click OK to effect the settings. Click Reload to refresh the settings to current value.
