Method:
This determines the method a port uses to aggregate with
other ports.
None -
A port does not want to aggregate with any other port
should choose this default setting.
LACP -
A port use LACP as its trunk method to get
aggregated with other ports also using LACP.
Static -
A port use Static Trunk as its trunk method to get
aggregated with other ports also using Static Trunk.
Group:
Ports choosing the same trunking method other than “None”
must be assigned a unique Group number (i.e. Group ID,
valid value is from 1 to 8) in order to declare that they wish
to aggregate with each other.
Active LACP:
This field is only referenced when a port’s trunking method
is LACP.
Activer -
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to
its link partner right after LACP protocol entity started to
take control of this port.
Passive -
A Passive LACP port will not actively send
LACPDU out before it receives an LACPDU from its link
partner.
Aggtr:
Aggtr is an abbreviation of “aggregator”. Every port is also
an aggregator, and its own aggregator ID is the same as its
own Port No. We can regard an aggregator as a
representative of a trunking group. Ports with same Group
ID and using same trunking method will have the
opportunity to aggregate to a particular aggregator port. This
aggregator port is usually the port with the smallest Port No.
within the trunking group.
Status:
This field represents the trunking status of a port which uses
a trunking method other than “None”. It also represents the
management link status of a port which uses the “None”
trunking method. “---“ means “not ready”
