How Does Auto-Link Aggregation work with the 4800?

The 4800 AP supports automatic Link Aggregation (LAG) across its Ethernet and AUX ports. This provides up to 2 Gbps of uplink speed to the access point. When operating in LAG, the Multigigabit Ethernet port will operate as a single Gigabit Ethernet port.

AUX port is used for daisy-chaining.  Not used widely in the field.
