LACP Port Settings
This 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.

Parameter Description
From Port /To Port
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
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).
