Link aggregation groups
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 assign the LAG VLAN membership after you create a LAG.
The LAG by default becomes a member of the management VLAN.
A LAG interface can be either static or dynamic, but not both. All members of a LAG
must participate in the same protocols. A static port-channel interface does not require
a partner system to be able to aggregate its member ports.
The switch supports static LAGs. When a port is added as a static member to a LAG,
the port neither transmits nor receives LACPDUs.
