Abstract
A switch, a device and a method for constructing an aggregated link are provided. A switch for constructing an aggregated link with multiple peer devices is provided. The switch includes multiple ports supporting different connection protocols, with each port being used for connecting to a peer device. The switch further includes a sub-aggregated link constructing unit used for aggregating one or more ports running the same protocol in the switch into a sub-aggregated link, and a control unit used for forming an aggregated link from all the sub-aggregated links.
