Operation Manual – Link AggregationH3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Link Aggregation Overview1-7After assigning a port to a service-loop group, you may configure it with othernon-conflicting settings, such as QoS.If this group is performing load sharing, it continues to function in this way even after allselected ports but one are removed to ensure ongoing service.1.5 Aggregation Port GroupAs mentioned earlier, in a manual or static aggregation group, a port can be selectedonly when its configuration is the same as that of the reference port in terms ofduplex/speed pair, link state, and other basic configurations. Their configurationconsistency requires administrative maintenance, which is troublesome after youchange some configuration.To simplify configuration, port-groups are provided allowing you to configure for all portsin individual groups at one time. One example of port-groups is aggregation port group.Upon creation or removal of a link aggregation group, an aggregation port-group whichcannot be administratively created or removed is automatically created or removed. Inaddition, you can only assign/remove a member port to/from an aggregation port-groupby assigning/removing it from the corresponding link aggregation group.For more information about port-groups, refer to Port Correlation Configuration.
