1. A link aggregation method, comprising:
receiving, by a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) packets belonging to a same aggregation group from a network device outside of an SDN via an SDN edge device; selecting, by the SDN controller, ports from among ports on the SDN edge device that have received LACP packets as selected ports of the aggregation group according to an aggregation strategy; informing the network device of the SDN edge device at which the selected ports are located, so as to cause the network device to negotiate with the SDN edge device to complete a link aggregation; wherein said informing comprises the SDN controller sending LACP packets to the network device.
