LACP Port Settings
The
LACP Port Mode Setup
window is used in conjunction with the
Link Aggregation
windows 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 the following window, click
Configuration > Link Aggregation > LACP

The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
Unit
This is the Unit ID of a Switch in a Switch stack. The number 15 indicates a DGS-
3312SR Switch in standalone mode.
From/To
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Mode
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, at one end of the connection must have “active” LACP
ports (see above).
After setting the previous parameters, click
Apply
to allow your changes to be implemented. The
LACP Port Mode Table
shows which ports are active and/or passive.
