CHAPTER 4
WEB OPERATION & CONFIGURATION
Aggregation Group Configuration
Group ID:
Trunk ID number. “Normal” means that no aggregation is used. Five aggregation groups are available for
use. Each group contains at least 2 to 10 links (ports). Please note that each port can only be used once in Group ID
1~5.
Port Members:
Select ports to belong to a certain trunk.
4.6.2 LACP
The Switch supports dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which is specified in IEEE 802.3ad. Static
trunks have to be manually configured at both ends of the link. In other words, LACP configured ports can
automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP configured ports on another devices. You can configure any number
of ports on the Switch as LACP, as long as they are not already configured as part of a static trunk. If ports on other
devices are also configured as LACP, the Switch and the other devices will negotiate a trunk link between them.
4.6.2.1 Port Configuration
Port:
The port number. “Port *” settings apply to all ports.
LACP Enabled:
Enable LACP on a switch port.
Key:
The “Auto” setting sets the key as appropriate by the physical link speed. Select “Specific” if you want a user-
defined key value. The allowed key value range is 1
~
65535. Ports in an aggregated link group must have the same
LACP port Key. In order to allow a port to join an aggregated group, the port Key must be set to the same value.
Role:
The user can select either “Active” or “Passive” role depending on the device’s capability of negotiating and
sending LACP control packets.
