C.2.4 Port Trunk
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for
exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link
Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link
Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation
Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link
aggregation lets you group up to 4 consecutive ports into two dedicated connections.
This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation
requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.
•
Trunk No.:
There are four trunk groups to provide configuration.
•
Type:
Pull down the selection menu item to select the type as ‘Static’ or ‘802.3ad
LACP’.
•
Member ports:
allows max four ports to be aggregated at the same time. With
LACP dynamic trunk group, the exceed ports are standby and can be aggregated if
work ports fail. If it is static trunk group, the number of ports must be the same as the
group member ports.
• Click ’Apply’ button to carry the setting into effect
