GSM-2108/GSM-1008SFP
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to its link partner as soon as the LACP protocol entity
takes control of this port.
Passive:
A Passive LACP port will not actively send LACPDU out until it receives an LACPDU from its link
partner.
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 number. An aggregator is 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 number 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”
