When the LACP aggregator has been set up, user can configure port state activity. User
can mark or un-mark the port. When user mark the port and click
Apply
button the port
state activity will change to
Active
. Opposite is
Passive
.
1.
Active:
The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
2.
Passive:
The port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets, and responds
only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.
[NOTE]
1. A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform
dynamic LACP trunk.
2. A link has two passive LACP ports will not perform dynamic LACP trunk because
both ports are waiting for and LACP protocol packet from the opposite device.
3. If you are the actor of active LACP, after you have selected the trunk port, the
active status will be created automatically.
