NOTE – Make sure you are using the latest firmware for the switch

Important:

To prevent problems during this setup, don’t connect all cables that will use the Link Aggregation until you have finally completed this setup on ALL switches.
If the Switches are connected between them, make sure there is only one link

Click on “Apply”

Step 5 – When the Link Aggregation Group has been created, you will see the following “Trunking List”
