Link Aggregation Support

 

Link aggregation is supported by 220 Series, 270 Series, 320 Series, 330 Series, 340 Series, AP-303P, 510 Series, 530 Series, and AP-555 access points.

All 220 Series, 270 Series, 320 Series, 330 Series, 340 Series, AP-303P, 510 Series, 530 Series, and AP-555 access points support link aggregation using either static port channel (configuration based) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (protocol signaling based) link aggregation. These access points can optionally be deployed with LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol. LACP is used for the collective handling of multiple physical ports that can be seen as a single channel for network traffic purposes. configuration to benefit from higher (greater than 1 Gbps Gigabits per second.) aggregate throughput capabilities. 330 Series, 340 Series, and 510 Series access points are limited to 1 Gbps Gigabits per second. on eth1 interface and hence eth0 interface cannot negotiate above 1 Gbps Gigabits per second. to form LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol. LACP is used for the collective handling of multiple physical ports that can be seen as a single channel for network traffic purposes..

The Mobility Master uses two different IP addresses for forwarding traffic to wireless clients associated to tunnel mode or decrypt-tunnel mode VAPs. One IP address is Mobility Master's IP address and the other is an unassigned IP address called GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. striping IP. Select the GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. striping IP address to ensure that a different physical interface is used by the load-balancing algorithm on the Ethernet Ethernet is a network protocol for data transmission over LAN. switch. This enables the access points achieve greater than 1 Gbps Gigabits per second. throughput in both upstream and downstream directions.

 

AP LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol. LACP is used for the collective handling of multiple physical ports that can be seen as a single channel for network traffic purposes. striping IP address need not be configured for APs terminating on a cluster.

On 200 Series and 270 Series access points, different IP addresses are used for different GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. tunnels between the AP and the LC. One LC IP address is used for tunnels corresponding to virtual APs using a 5 G radio and the other LC IP address is used for tunnels corresponding to virtual APs using a 2.4 G radio. By associating clients on both bands Band refers to a specified range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. you can achieve more than 1 Gbps Gigabits per second. throughput.

A local AP LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol. LACP is used for the collective handling of multiple physical ports that can be seen as a single channel for network traffic purposes. LMS Local Management Switch. In multi-controller networks, each controller acts as an LMS and terminates user traffic from the APs, processes, and forwards the traffic to the wired network.  map information profile that maps the device's LMS Local Management Switch. In multi-controller networks, each controller acts as an LMS and terminates user traffic from the APs, processes, and forwards the traffic to the wired network. IP address to a GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. striping IP address. If the AP fails over to a standby or backup controller, the AP LACP Link Aggregation Control Protocol. LACP is used for the collective handling of multiple physical ports that can be seen as a single channel for network traffic purposes. LMS Local Management Switch. In multi-controller networks, each controller acts as an LMS and terminates user traffic from the APs, processes, and forwards the traffic to the wired network.  map information profile on the new LC defines the striping IP address that the AP uses for link aggregation. This feature allows the access points to continue to support link aggregation to a backup controller in the event of a controller failover, even if the backup controller is in a different L3 network.

In previous releases, the GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. striping IP address was defined in the global AP system profile, which did not allow APs to maintain GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation. GRE is an IP encapsulation protocol that is used to transport packets over a network. striping tunnels if the AP failed over to a backup controller in a different L3 network.

 

If your topology includes a backup controller you must define GRE Generic Routing Encapsulation.
