LACP
Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad specification) as the trunking
method can select the unique LACP GroupID to form a logical “trunked port”. The benefit of using
LACP is that a port makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a ready member of a
“trunk group” (also called aggregator). LACP is safer than the other trunking method - static trunk.
4.4.1
Configuration
This page enables the user to inspect and change the current LACP port configurations. An LACP trunk
group with more than one ready member-port is a “real trunked” group. An LACP trunk group with only
one or less than one ready member-port is not a “real trunked” group.
To configure the LACP parameters via the web interface:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Aggregation > LACP > Configuration .
2. Check the LACP Enabled box to enable LACP on the port.
3. Set the key to Auto or Specific. Auto is the default.
4. Set the role to Active or Passive. Default is Active.
5. Click Apply or click Reset to revert to previously saved values. 0.
