Administrative Auto Negotiation

—Enables or disable auto-negotiation on

the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that
enables a LAG to advertise its transmission speed and flow control to its
partner (the Flow Control default is

disabled

). It is recommended to keep

auto-negotiation enabled on both sides of an aggregate link, or disabled on
both sides, while ensuring that link speeds are identical.

•

Operational Auto Negotiation

—Displays the auto-negotiation setting.

•

Administrative Speed

—Select the LAG speed.

•

Operational LAG Speed

—Displays the current speed at which the LAG is

operating.

•

Administrative Advertisement

—Select the capabilities to be advertised by

the LAG. The options are:

-

Max Capability

—All LAG speeds and both duplex modes are available.

-

10 Full

—The LAG advertises a 10 Mbps speed and the mode is full

duplex.

-

100 Full

—The LAG advertises a 100 Mbps speed and the mode is full

duplex.

-

1000 Full

—The LAG advertises a 1000 Mbps speed and the mode is full

duplex.

•

Operational Advertisement

—Displays the Administrative Advertisement

status. The LAG advertises its capabilities to its neighbor LAG to start the
negotiation process. The possible values are those specified in the

Administrative Advertisement

field.

•

Administrative Flow Control

—Set Flow Control to either

Enable

or

Disable

or enable the

Auto-Negotiation

of Flow Control on the LAG.

•

Operational Flow Control

—Displays the current Flow Control setting.

•

Protected LAG

—Select to make the LAG a protected port for Layer 2

isolation. See the Port Configuration description in

Setting Basic Port

Configuration

for details regarding protected ports and LAGs.

STEP 4
