Do you have any other Ethernet / SFP card installed on the back of device ?

CIMC for managing the Physical Kit

RP - Redundant port if you like HA setup (if stand alone you can ignore it)

SP - Service port for manangment

here is the installation guide :

BB -yes as long as switch can able to support LAG.

Where is the port of vlan management ?

BB - You  can use one of the VLAN above configured LAG (as part of your deployment)

Wait ... SFP?
What modules are you planning to use on the 5520?
If they are only SFP, make sure to use GLC-T/GLC-TX into Port 1 or else SFP won't work.

Hello, 

I would like to configure LAG by SFP .

Did you look at the 5520 deployment guide? It’s walks you step by step what you need to do. What modules are supported and how to get the module to be detected as 1gig vs default 10gig.

Just to add, there is no separate management port. When define a LAG, all interfaces you create for wireless, rlan, management will go through the LAG which is the two 1gig/10gig ports that would be connected via an ether channel. Take a look at the 5520 deployment guide for more details on how the 5520 should be deployed.
