DESCRIPTION
Link Aggregation
Control Protocol
Note: Do not configure this screen unless you want to enable dynamic link aggregation.
Active
Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
System Priority
LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,535. The switch with the lowest
system priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same) becomes the LACP
“server”. The LACP “server” controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a number to set
the priority of an active port using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The smaller
the number, the higher the priority level.
Group ID
The field identifies the link aggregation group, that is, one logical link containing multiple
ports.
LACP Active
Select this option to enable LACP for a trunk.
Port
This field displays the port number.
*
Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row
first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
LACP Timeout
Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in
order to check that the peer port in the trunk group is still up. If a port does not respond
after three tries, then it is deemed to be “down” and is removed from the trunk. Set a
short timeout (one second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are
removed from the trunk group as soon as possible.
Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top navigation
panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel

Cancel
to begin configuring this screen afresh.
