Chapter 3 Conguration and Upgrade
Conguring the Switch Dynamic Link Aggregation Function
The link partner GbE switch on this 2.5Gb MUX has to be pre-configured, in order to enable two GbE
ports dynamic link aggregation on this switch. To connect these two ports from the switch to the MUX,
please refer to Figure 6 - 2.5Gb MUX Application Diagram below.
Figure 6: 2.5Gb MUX Application diagram
Port aggregation applies to various methods of combining (aggregating) multiple network connections
in parallel in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and to
provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail.
