trunk group.

TYPE: When choose LACP, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an
LACP trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first. Please
notice that a trunk group, including member ports split between two switches, has
to enable the LACP function of the two switches. When disabled, the trunk group
is a static trunk group. The advantage of having the LACP disabled is that a port
joins the trunk group without any handshaking with its member ports; but member
ports won
’t know that they should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk
group.

Work ports: This column field allows the user to choose the total number of
active port up to four. With LACP static trunk group , e.g. you assign four ports
to be the members of a trunk group whose work ports column field is set as two;
the exceed ports are standby/redundant ports and can be aggregated if working
ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP), the number of work ports must
equal the total number of group member ports.
