2.1.9 LACP
Different from the static port trunking, LACP provides another way to dynamically aggregate port to a group
(trunk) according to IEEE 802.3ad. Once the protocol is enabled, the ports to be trunked by LACP will be
executed automatically after press “Apply”. A default diagram is shown below.
Two parameters need to be set per port basis in this webpage:
Protocol Enabled
– to enable/disable LACP protocol for a port.
Key Value
– a number (1 ~ 255) to identify the LACP group for a port. All member ports in a LACP
group have the same key values. Key number will be automatically generated if “auto” value is set
.
Choose and click the trunk ports you want to group. For example, select port 5, 6, 7 and port 8 to group into a
LACP group with key value “auto” for all ports, then press “Apply” to activate the setting. The figure is shown
below
