How to set up static LAG?

Hi Dwayne,

The XG supports two types of LAG:

1. Active –Backup which is used for link redundancy
2. LACP for load lancing

When the XG is configured to do Active-Backup LAG, it will bundle the defined number of interfaces into the LAG and one interface will work as an Active Slave and the rest will work as Backup Slaves. In events of interface failure, the next link will take over as Active Slave to forward the traffic. This feature is mainly used for link redundancy.

To configure this, define the LAG on the required interfaces and then take SSH access to the XG firewall and go to option 4. Device Console. Execute the following command,

set network lag-interface xyz lag-mgt mode active-backup (here, xyz is the name of the LAG interface)

Thanks,

Hi Sachin,

Thank you for your answer.

Is it also possible to use LAG without LACP to heighthen link bandwith, with more than one active link?

It is not possible, you need to use LACP for dynamic LAG which in turn increases the throughput.

Thanks,

Thank you for your answer!
