Ethernet Switch Link Aggregation Setting Procedure

Introduction

This section explains the procedure of the Ethernet Switch Link Aggregation setting.

Applicable models

Overview

The giga ports are bundled using link aggregation to connect between switches and expand the communication bandwidth (to a maximum of 2Gbps in this setting).

Setting description and procedure

?The Switch-M24PWR-1 Link Aggregation is LACP (Port=25-26 Mode=Active).
?The Switch-M24PWR-2 Link Aggregation is LACP (Port=25-26 Mode=Passive).

*When setting the LACP Link Aggregation, use the combination Active-Active or Active-Passive for the Ethernet Switch mode (it will not function if the both are set to Passive).
*All of the ports bundled as a Link Aggregation must exist within the same VLAN.

Overall setting flow

  • 1. From the Link Aggregation (Trunk Configuration) Menu of Switch-M24PWR-1, set the Group ID, Port Member, and Mode.
  • 2. Save the settings.
  • 3. From the Link Aggregation (Trunk Configuration) Menu of Switch-M24PWR-2, set the Group ID, Port Member, and Mode.
  • 4. Save the settings.
  • 5. Connect Switch-M24PWR-1 and Switch-M24PWR-2 and confirm that they can communicate.
    (Make sure ports 25 and 26 of both switches do not form a loop.)

Method of login and access to the Link Aggregation setting screen (Common to both Switch-M24PWR-1 and Switch-M24PWR-2)

Step 1.

Use a twisted pair cable and a console cable to connect the PC and Ethernet Switch, and display the setting screen on the Hyper Terminal.
(For the setting screen display method on the console port, refer to the setting example “Method for Connecting to the Ethernet Switch Console Port.”)
