A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a network configuration technique that combines multiple physical network links into a single logical link to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy. To set up a Static Link Aggregation Group (LAG) on AR6280 and AR8140 access routers using two pre-defined LAN ports, follow these steps. Detailed port information can be found in the router overview.

  1. Navigate to Locations > CPE and choose the ports marked with a group label in the dashboard or as specified in the router overview documentation.
  2. Enable the selected ports and configure the ports as described above.
  3. Set up the static LAG on your network equipment and connect to the Enterprise Connect router.
