Ports choosing the same trunking method other than “None” must be assigned a unique
Group number in order to declare that they wish to aggregate with each other.

LACP Role:
This field is only referenced when a port’s trunking method is LACP.

Active :
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to its link partner right after the 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.

LACP Timeout :
The Timeout controls the period between BPDU transmissions.

Fast :
It will transmit LACP packets each second,

Slow :
It will wait for 30 seconds before sending a LACP packet.

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”
