[. . . ] Specify the direction of the traffic to mirror by selecting from the drop-down list box. Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. You may want to trunk ports if for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but more costly, single-port link. However, the more ports you aggregate then the fewer available ports you have. The beginning port of each trunk group must be physically connected to form a trunk group. 17. 1. 1 What You Can Do · Use the Link Aggregation Status screen (Section 17. 2 on page 159) to view ports you have configured to be in the trunk group, ports that are currently transmitting data as one logical link in the trunk group and so on. · Use the Link Aggregation Setting screen (Section 17. 3 on page 161) to configure to enable static link aggregation. · Use the Link Aggregation Control Protocol screen (Section 17. 4 on page 163) to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). 17. 1. 2 What You Need to Know The Switch 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 Switch. See Section 17. 5. 1 on page 164 for a static port trunking example. GS2200-24/24P User's Guide 157 Chapter 17 Link Aggregation Dynamic Link Aggregation The Switch adheres to the IEEE 802. 3ad standard for static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking. The IEEE 802. 3ad standard describes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for dynamically creating and managing 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: · You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for LACP trunking. · 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. Link Aggregation ID LACP aggregation ID consists of the following information1: Table 39 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 40 Link Aggregation ID: Peer Switch SYSTEM PRIORITY 0000 MAC ADDRESS 00-00-00-00-00-00 KEY 0000 PORT PRIORITY 00 PORT NUMBER 0000 1. Port Priority and Port Number are 0 as it is the aggregator ID for the trunk group, not the individual port. 158 GS2200-24/24P User's Guide Chapter 17 Link Aggregation 17. 2 Link Aggregation Status Click Advanced Application > Link Aggregation in the navigation panel. See Section 17. 1 on page 157 for more information. Figure 82 Advanced Application > Link Aggregation Status The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 41 Advanced Application > Link Aggregation Status LABEL Group ID Enabled Ports DESCRIPTION This field displays the group ID to identify a trunk group, that is, one logical link containing multiple ports. These are the ports you have configured in the Link Aggregation screen to be in the trunk group. The port number(s) displays only when this trunk group is activated and there is a port belonging to this group. Synchronized These are the ports that are currently transmitting data as one logical link Ports in this trunk group. Aggregator ID Link Aggregator ID consists of the following: system priority, MAC address, key, port priority and port number. The ID displays only when there is a port belonging to this trunk group and LACP is also enabled for this group. GS2200-24/24P User's Guide 159 Chapter 17 Link Aggregation Table 41 Advanced Application > Link Aggregation Status (continued) LABEL Criteria DESCRIPTION This shows the outgoing traffic distribution algorithm used in this trunk group. Packets from the same source and/or to the same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk.
