Link Aggregation Group (LAG) and the associated Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), commonly called port-channel, combine multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface. This capability enhances throughput and link redundancy between your device and an adjacent switch. Use LAG and LACP when configuring Layer 3 ports on the LAN side to ensure your mission-critical applications have consistent, high-availability network connections.

LAG and LACP support aligns with industry standards to allow seamless integration with your existing network equipment. Leverage this capability to enhance network performance, simplify management, and improve overall user experience across your distributed enterprise environments. Link Aggregation Groups combine one or two network connections in scenarios where higher throughput or fail-over capabilities are essential.

LACP is a protocol that manages the bundling of these physical links, ensuring proper load balancing and link status monitoring. You can now use LAG and LACP with Prisma® SD-WAN (available in software version 6.5 and later).
