[. . . ] The MES-2110 supports both static and dynamic link aggregation. Note: In a properly planned network, it is recommended to implement static link aggregation only. This ensures increased network stability and control over the trunk groups on your MES-2110. See Section 16. 3 on page 118 for a static port trunking example. 16. 2 Dynamic Link Aggregation The MES-2110 adheres to the IEEE 802. 3ad standard for static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking. The MES-2110 supports the link aggregation IEEE802. 3ad standard. This standard describes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is a protocol that dynamically creates and manages trunk groups. When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy, that is, if an operational port fails, then one of the "standby" ports become operational without user intervention. Please note that: MES-2110 User's Guide 117 Chapter 16 Link Aggregation · You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for LACP trunking. · LACP only works on full-duplex links. · All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow control settings. Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network topology loops. 16. 2. 1 Link Aggregation ID LACP aggregation ID consists of the following information2: Table 41 Link Aggregation ID: Local Switch SYSTEM PRIORITY 0000 MAC ADDRESS 00-00-00-00-00-00 KEY 0000 PORT PRIORITY 00 PORT NUMBER 0000 Table 42 Link Aggregation ID: Peer Switch SYSTEM PRIORITY 0000 MAC ADDRESS 00-00-00-00-00-00 KEY 0000 PORT PRIORITY 00 PORT NUMBER 0000 16. 3 Static Trunking Example This example shows you how to create a static port trunk group for ports 2-5. 1 Make your physical connections - make sure that the ports that you want to belong to the trunk group are connected to the same destination. The following figure shows ports 2-5 on switch A connected to switch B. Figure 49 Trunking Example - Physical Connections B A 2. Port Priority and Port Number are 0 as it is the aggregator ID for the trunk group, not the individual port. 118 MES-2110 User's Guide Chapter 16 Link Aggregation Configure static trunking-Click Configuration > Trunk Config > Aggregator Setting. In this screen select the ports that should belong to trunk group 1 as shown in the figure below. Click Apply when you are done. 2 Figure 50 Trunking Example - Configuration Screen Your trunk group 1 configuration is now complete; you do not need to go to any additional screens. 16. 4 Link Aggregation Setting Click Configuration > Trunk Config > Aggregator Setting to display the screen shown next. See Section 16. 1 on page 117 for more information on link aggregation. Figure 51 Configuration > Trunk Config > Aggregator Setting MES-2110 User's Guide 119 Chapter 16 Link Aggregation The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 43 Configuration > Trunk Config > Aggregator Setting LABEL Group DESCRIPTION This is the trunk group index number. The MES-2110 supports up to four trunk groups for 100Mbps ports and up to two trunk groups for Gigabit ports. 100Mbps ports and Gigabit ports cannot be in the same group. Members Select the port(s) that belong to a trunk group. For Groups 1 to 4, you can select up to four port members for each group. For Group 5, you can select the two Gigabit ports as the members. LACP Undo Apply Use this to enable or disable LACP port trunking. Click this to restore your last saved settings. Click Apply to save your changes to the MES-2110's run-time memory. The MES-2110 loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save Settings link in the navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. 16. 5 Link Aggregation Control Protocol Click Configuration > Trunk Config > LACP Configuration to display the screen shown next.
