This field can be toggled between
Enabled
and
Disabled
. This is used to
turn a link aggregation group on or off.
This is useful for diagnostics, to quickly
isolate a bandwidth intensive network
device, or to have an absolute backup
link aggregation group that is not under
automatic control.

and unknown unicasts.
After setting the previous parameters, click

LACP Port
The DES-3250TG supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol. LACP allows you to bundle several physical ports together to
form one logical port. After the LACP negotiation, these candidates for trunking ports can be trunked as a logical port. If any
one of the connected port pairs does not have LACP capability, these two ports will stand as regular ports until the LACP
negotiation is successfully completed. Like the traditional port trunking explained earlier in this manual, the member ports of
an LACP trunk group can only be from a trunk with a peer LACP trunk group.
