Link Aggregation profiles

LACP according to IEEE 802.1AX allows several Ethernet connections to be bundled in a so-called LAG (Link Aggregation Group) in order to increase the achievable data throughput within the LAG. For this purpose, the outgoing packets on the sending side are distributed to the various individual links within the LAG on the basis of the configured frame distribution policy.

You create the configuration of the link aggregation profiles under WLAN Controller > Profiles > Advanced Profiles > Link aggregation profiles.





Name
The name of this LAG (Link Aggregation Group).
Activated
Enables or disables this LAG (Link Aggregation Group).
System priority
The system priority of this LAG (Link Aggregation Group).
Frame distribution policy
Frame distribution policy of this LAG (Link Aggregation Group). Possible options:
Flow-Hash
For outgoing packets, a flow hash is formed over the IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports contained and the packets are distributed to the individual links of the LAG on the basis of this. This achieves a distribution at session level, so that sessions of a single client can also be distributed to multiple links. This setting is recommended for most scenarios.
Source-Dest-MAC
Outgoing packets are distributed to the individual links of the LAG based on the contained pair of source MAC address and destination MAC address.
