Abstract
An automated Link Aggregation Group (LAG) configuration system includes a plurality of slave switch devices that are each coupled to an endhost device by at least one respective link. Each of the plurality of slave switch devices receives a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) communication from the endhost device, and forwards endhost device information in that LAG communication to a master switch device. The master switch device receives endhost device information from each of the plurality of slave switch devices and determines that each of the plurality of slave switch devices are coupled to the endhost device. In response, the master switch device sends a LAG instruction to each of the plurality of slave switch devices that causes the at least one respective link that couples each of the plurality of slave switch devices to the endhost device to be configured in a LAG.
