Using MLAG in S-Series Switches
MLAG (Multichassis Link Aggregation Group) allows two switches to be interconnected through link aggregation, and act as one logical switch, which helps you to scale network without changing topology.
Flexibility and Security
Increase bandwidth and provide redundancy in emergent breakdown.
High Reliability Protocol
Improve link reliability from the board level to the device level.
Efficient to Deploy
Simplify networking and configuration, and support independent upgrade.
How to Configure MLAG
MLAG networking enables more virtual switches to simultaneously share the same LAG endpoint. And there are three parts in this video showing the
configuration of MLAG, the verification and the port-mirror in MLAG.

S-Series Switches Performance Validation
S-Series switches are valid for the IETF RFC2544 standard, which provides an out-of-service benchmarking methodology to evaluate the performance of network devices using throughput, back-to-back, frame loss and latency tests, with each validating a specific part of SLA. The throughput test determines how well suited a device is to applications in which minimal frame loss is critical.

MLAG Implementation Solution
ERPS+ MLAG make the network topology simpler, the convergence faster, and the network more reliable. Compared with the Spanning Tree Protocol, ERPS
provides faster convergence and meets carrier-grade applications. As a virtualization technology, MLAG provides a Layer 2 topology without loops for redundant
backup, which greatly simplifies the networking and has higher reliability. S5800/S5850/S8050 Series Switches are the best choice.
