Load Sharing Guidelines
For Summit Family Switches and SummitStack the following rules apply
to load sharing.
- A static LAG can contain up to eight ports.
- An LACP LAG can contain twice the number of ports as a static LAG. The
maximum number of selected links is the same as the limit for a static LAG. The
remaining links are standby links.
- A Health Check LAG can contain the same number of ports as a static
LAG.
- You can configure only the address-based load-sharing algorithm as
described in the following sections:
- The maximum number of LAGs for Summit family switches is 128.

Note
See Configuring LACP
for the maximum number of links, selected and standby, per LACP.
Guidelines for the Summit X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and
X450-G2 platform Switches
For the Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, and X770
series switches, the following rules apply to load sharing.
- A static LAG can contain up to 32 ports when configured
to use the L2,L3,L3_L4 or custom algorithm.
- For all the algorithms, LACP LAG can contain up to 64
ports per LAG, which includes up to 32 selected links and 32 standby links.
- A SummitStack consisting entirely of X450-G2, X460-G2,
X670-G2, and X770 switches can contain up to 64 ports for all algorithms.
All platforms have the same stacking limits.
