This chapter describes how to configure trunk groups and 802. Trunk groups are manually-configured aggregate links containing multiple ports. Port aggregation is useful for implementing load balancing and provides a redundant link backup. This process, also known as link aggregation or LAG (Link Aggregation Group), is essential for optimizing network performance. Switch-to-Switch Aggregation: This is useful in scenarios where you need to interconnect multiple switches to increase the bandwidth available between them and ensure network redundancy. It helps in managing higher traffic loads between switches. To aggregate multiple physical ports into a logical channel, you can use static aggregation or LACP protocol for. This guide covers what port aggregation / link aggregation (LAG) is and how to enable and use it within UniFi. If you want fast and reliable UniFi hosting, check out HostiFi with fast. Link aggregation is a way of bundling a bunch of individual (Ethernet) links together so they act as a single logical link.
