Link Aggregation & Redundancy in 4-8 Port LAN Switches
Link aggregation and redundancy are important features to improve the performance and reliability of a network. The manufacturer PLANET Technology offers a variety of 4-8 port LAN switches with link aggregation and redundancy features to ensure that your network works optimally at all times.
Link aggregation, also known as port bundling, allows you to combine multiple physical links between switches or between switches and servers to achieve higher bandwidth and redundancy. With 4-8 port PLANET switches, you can bundle up to 8 ports into a single Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) channel to achieve a maximum transmission rate of up to 5 Gbps.
Redundancy is an important aspect of network security, ensuring that a network continues to function even if a switch or link fails. With 4-8 port PLANET switches, you can set up redundant connections between switches to ensure that if a link or switch fails, the network continues to function. The switches support various redundancy protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), and Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS).
With the link aggregation and redundancy features of PLANET's 4-8 Port LAN switches, you can build a reliable, high-performance and secure network that works optimally at all times.
