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. It can also move the link to that Link Aggregation Group and enable its transmission
and receive functions to occur in an orderly manner. Link aggregation lets you group up to
four consecutive ports into two dedicated connections. This feature can expand bandwidth to
a device on the network.
LACP operation requires full-duplex mode,
more detailed
information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.
Aggregator setting
1.
System Priority:
a value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest
value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.
2.
Group ID:
There are three trunk groups to provide configure. Choose the
Group ID
and
select
.
3.
LACP:
If enabled, the group is LACP static trunk group. If disabled, the group is the local
static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunk group. If connected to the
device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunk group will be created
automatically.
4.
Work ports:
allows a maximum of four ports to be aggregated at the same time. With
LACP static trunk group, the exceed ports are on standby and can be aggregated if the
working ports fail. If it is part of the local static trunk group, the number of ports must be
the same as the group member ports.
5.
Select the ports to join the trunk group. Allow max four ports can be aggregated at the
same time. Select
button to add the port. To remove unwanted ports, select
the port and select
button.
6.
If LACP enabled, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each of the ports on
State Activity page.
