Configure LAG Ports

Link Aggregation (LAG) ports increase link throughput and provide redundancy in case of a link failure. When two ports are configured as LAG ports, the network bonds the ports and treats them as a single logical port interface.

Universal Compute Platform supports the IEEE 802.3ad implementation of Dynamic LAG, with control managed by the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The following port combinations are supported as LAG ports:

ICC1 and ICC2
Data ports 1 and 2
Data ports 3 and 4

Before You Begin

To combine ports, the two ports must be in the same VLAN and must negotiate to the same data rate.
LAG must also be enabled on the switch that connects to the LAG ports. Otherwise, the LAG connection fails.

Select the navigation menu and select Administration > System > Network Setup.
To aggregate the ICC ports, enable the LAG toggle under ICC Interfaces.
To aggregate data ports, go to the L2 Ports section and do the following:
- To aggregate data ports 1 and 2, enable the LAG1 toggle
- To aggregate data ports 3 and 4, enable the LAG2 toggle
For each aggregated set of data ports, create a LAG interface:
1. Select Add New Interface.
2. For the Port field, select the LAG-enabled port.
3. Complete the fields in the Create New Interface window. For field descriptions, see the subsequent table.
4. Select Save.
