Switch Link Aggregations Configuration

Dashboard Location: Switching > Configure > Link Aggregation

Network Link Aggregation and LACP Management

Switch Link Aggregations configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with comprehensive port bonding and link aggregation capabilities, enabling increased bandwidth, redundancy, and load distribution across multiple physical connections. This functionality supports enterprise network resilience, bandwidth optimization, high availability requirements, and traffic load balancing through Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and static link bundling for enhanced network performance and fault tolerance.

    - name: !env domain
      administrator:
        name: !env org_admin
      organizations:
        - name: !env org
          networks:
            - name: !env network_name
              product_types:
                - appliance
                - switch
                - wireless
                - camera
                - sensor

              switch:
                link_aggregations:
                  - switch_ports:
                      - device: !env core_switch_01
