DAS-3626 VDSL2 Switch User Manual
Configurable options and and display information in the Port Trunking menu include the following:
Parameter Description
Algorithm
The algorithm that the switch uses to balance the load across the ports that make up the port
trunk group is defined by this definition. Choose
MAC Source
,
MAC Destination
,
MAC Source
Dest
,
IP Source, IP Destination
or
IP Source Dest
(See the Link Aggregation section of this
manual).
Group ID
Select an ID number for the group.
Type
This pull-down menu allows you to select between Static and LACP (Link Aggregation Control
Protocol). LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a Port Trunking Group.
Master Port
Choose the Master Port for the trunk group using the pull-down menu.
State
Toggle Enabled and Disabled to enable or disable the port trunk. This is useful for diagnostics,
to quickly isolate a bandwidth intensive network device or to have an absolute backup
aggregation group that is not under automatic control.

LACP Port Settings
The
LACP Port Settings
window is used to create port trunking groups on the switch. Using the following window, the
user may set which ports will be active and passive in processing and sending LACP control frames.
To view this window, click
Switch Configuration > LACP Port Settings
as shown below:

The following fields can be set
Parameter Description
From Port / To Port
Ports 25 and 26 are the only ports on the DAS-3626 available for LACP.
Activity
Active
– Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames. This
allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be
changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated
port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating
devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support LACP.
Passive
– LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP control
frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes
dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above).
