Configure LAG Membership

You can select two or more full-duplex Ethernet links to be aggregated together to form a link
aggregation group (LAG), which is also known as a port channel. The switch can treat the
port channel as a single link.

Interfaces that you add to a LAG must be of the same type. Therefore, only the following port
groups can be members in the same LAG: g1–g4 for a 1G LAG), ports mg5 and mg6 for
either a 2.5G LAG or a 5G LAG, and ports xmg9 and xg9 for a 10G LAG.

To configure LAG membership:

1.

Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.

2.

Launch a web browser.

3.

In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
