The value to Link Aggregation is that the two switches will treat multiple ports configured in a Link Aggregate Group (LAG) as a single trunk, providing increased total bandwidth, as well as redundancy. Link aggregation provides link backup mechanisms, greatly improving link reliability. In an aggregate link, traffic is distributed across the member. This document describes the configuration of Ethernet services, including configuring MAC address table, link aggregation, M-LAG, VLAN, QinQ, VLAN mapping, GVRP, STP/RSTP, MSTP, VBST, ERPS (G. 8032), LBDT, and Layer 2 protocol transparent transmission. Connect the two multi–layer switches (MLS) with a Gigabit uplink 2. Use a private IP address block. Configure a two–port EtherChannel connection.
