3-3.2 LACP
Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad specification) as their
trunking method can choose their unique LACP GroupID to form a logic “trunked port”. The
benefit of using LACP is that a port makes an agreement with its peer port before it becomes a
ready member of a “trunk group” (also called aggregator). LACP is safer than the other trunking
method - static trunk.
3-3.2.1 Configuration
This page allows the user to inspect the current LACP port configurations, and possibly
change them as well. An LACP trunk group with more than one ready member-ports is a “real
trunked” group. An LACP trunk group with only one or less than one ready member-ports is
not a “real trunked” group.
Web Interface
To configure the Trunk Aggregation LACP parameters in the web interface:
1. Click Configuration, LACP, Configuration

Scroll the Key parameter with Auto or Specific Default is Auto.
3. Scroll the Role with Active or Passive. Default is Active.
4. Click the save to save the setting.
5. If you want to cancel the setting then you need to click the reset button.
It will revert to previous saved values.
