Can link aggregation be performed on an access switch

Home / Can link aggregation be performed on an access switch

The most common link aggregation deployment in business networks is on uplinks between access-layer and distribution-layer switches. A floor or departmental access switch typically has many user devices connected to it. How should the access switch and aggregation/core switch be configured to allow two connection from access switch to core switch?This article provides a comprehensive explanation of link aggregation — covering LACP, static vs dynamic link aggregation, and MLAG (Link Aggregation Plus) — along with real configuration examples from Cisco and Huawei switches. In this article, I'm going to describe how to set up Link Aggregation between two managed switches to provide connectivity, redundancy, and expanded bandwidth. Link aggregation is a way of bundling a bunch of individual (Ethernet) links together so they act as a single logical link.
