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.
LACP Port Mode Table window
The user may set the following parameters:
Unit
This is the Unit ID of a Switch. The number 15 indicates a KGS-3120 Switch.
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 Table shows which ports are active and/or passive.
