Most of the time you'll use 802.3ad or 802.1AX, also called Link Aggregation Control Protocol or LACP. There are also various proprietary link aggregation protocols. Before the standardization of LACP, Cisco developed an option called Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) on some Cisco switches.
What is LACP protocol and how it works?
LACP provides a standard negotiation mechanism that a Huawei switch can use to create and enable the aggregated link based on its configuration. After an aggregated link is formed, LACP is responsible for maintaining the link. LACP adjusts the link if an aggregated link's status changes.
What is static link aggregation?
Static link aggregation is a method of combining or bundling of multiple switch ports or nics to form a single etherchannel. It increases throughput and redundancy for the two connecting devices. A static link aggregation means that you manually configure the links you wish to use as part of your etherchannel.
