Enabling/Disabling Link Aggregation

IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation (also called port trunking) is supported by the CTERA C400 and C800. Link aggregation enables you to use both Ethernet ports of the appliance in parallel, to increase the link speed beyond the limits of a single 1Gbps port and to increase redundancy for higher availability.

To enable link aggregation

1. Connect both of the CTERA C400 or C800's LAN ports to a switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation.
2. In the Configuration tab's navigation pane, click System > Network.

   The System > Network page appears.

   

3. Slide the lever to the ON position.

   Link aggregation is enabled.

   

To disable link aggregation

1. In the Configuration tab's navigation pane, click System > Network.

   The System > Network page appears.

2. Slide the lever to the OFF position.

   Link aggregation is disabled.
