VES: How to setup and activate Link Aggregation

Link Aggregation 

First, set up this setting and then connect. Otherwise, you will create a Loop!

Link aggregation (trunking) is the grouping of physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link.
You may want to trunk ports if, for example, it is cheaper to use multiple lower-speed links than to under-utilize a high-speed, but a more costly, single-port link.
However, the more ports you aggregate then, the fewer available ports you have.
A trunk group is one logical link containing multiple ports.

On Port Setting, you can choose 30 seconds or 1 second. This value must be the same as on your Switch. Usually, 30 seconds is the default value for LACP.

 

Now setting is done, please don’t forget to Save!

3. Verify

Check if it works, please connect the Port and go to Status:

Both Ports are forwarding, so Trunk is working.
