Link Access Control Protocol Menu
Use the LACP menu to configure dynamic trunking whereby the switch
will automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP-configured ports on
another device.
Command Usage
• To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before
connecting the ports; also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.
• If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, and
port members at one or both ends of the link are set to actively initiate a
link, the trunk will be activated automatically.
• If the number of active ports (i.e., Work Ports) is less than the number of
assigned port, all the other ports will be placed in a standby mode.
Should one link in the trunk fail, one of the standby ports will
automatically be activated to replace it.
• All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full
duplex, either by forced mode or auto-negotiation.
• The Spanning Tree Protocol must be enabled for LACP to function
properly. (See “Spanning Tree Protocol Menu” on page 4-40.)
