Port Aggregation FAQs
Port aggregation can increase maximum throughput, and allow for network redundancy. It does this by splitting traffic across multiple ports instead of forcing clients to use a single uplink port on a switch.
Port Aggregation Configurations
Port aggregation allows you to group multiple physical ports into one unit. Port aggregation is useful for implementing load balancing and provides a redundant link backup. To allow port aggregation, the
