See Configuring LACP for the maximum number of links, selected and standby, per LACP.

Guidelines for the Switches

For the ExtremeSwitching X450-G2, X460-G2, X590, X465, X695 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, X590, and X465 switches can contain up to 64 ports for all algorithms. All platforms have the same stacking limits.
