D-Link DES-3326S [62/242] Configure link aggregation

D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch

Configure Link Aggregation

The Switch supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol and allows for a choice of the Link Aggregation Algorithm. The links

to the menus used to set it up are located in the Link Aggregation subdirectory, in the Advanced Settings folder. Use the

Link Aggregation Algorithm menu to instruct the Switch on what criteria is used to implement address-based load sharing.

Use the Link Aggregation menu to set up the ports used for the link.

Choose the Link Aggregation Algorithm

The Link Aggregation Algorithm is used to determine how load balancing is handled for an aggregated link. It is possible to

configure which portion of data packets are examined in order to determine which port is used to transmit load-sharing data.

This feature is only available using the address-based load-sharing algorithm.
