  • Using switch Ethernet ports for aggregation

    Using switch Ethernet ports for aggregation

    Configuring port aggregation on a UniFi switch is straightforward using the UniFi Network Controller (or UniFi OS Console). All UniFi Switches support aggregation, except USW-Flex, USW-Flex-Mini and USW-Ultra. Because of this, you should not aggregate two ports connected from a. Understanding ethernet port aggregation helps create a network that can handle big data and streaming demands. This method increases bandwidth and keeps connections stable if one link fails. Port aggregation is useful for implementing load balancing and provides a redundant link. In computer networking, link aggregation is the combining (aggregating) of multiple network connections in parallel by any of several methods. 3ad link aggregation enables you to group Ethernet interfaces to form a single link layer interface, also known as a link aggregation group (LAG) or bundle.
