All of the physical links in a given port-channel mustoperate in full-duplex mode at the same speed.You can use the feature to directly connect two switches when the traffic between them requires highbandwidth and reliability, or to provide a higher bandwidth connection to a public network.You can configure the port-channels as either dynamic or static. Dynamic configuration uses the IEEE802.3ad standard, which provides for the periodic exchanges of LACPDUs. Static configuration is usedwhen connecting the switch to an external switch that does not support the exchange of LACPDUs.The feature offers the following benefits:• Increased reliability and availability: If one of the physical links in the port-channel goes down, traffic isdynamically and transparently reassigned to one of the other physical links.• Increased bandwidth: The aggregated physical links deliver higher bandwidth than each individuallink.• Incremental increase in bandwidth: A physical upgrade could produce a 10-times increase inbandwidth; LAG produces a two- or five-times increase, useful if only a small increase is needed.Management functions treat a port-channel as if it were a single physical port.You can include a port-channel in a VLAN. You can configure more than one port-channel for a givenswitch.
