The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 36 Link Aggregation Control Protocol: Configuration
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Active Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
System
Priority
LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,355. 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 Aggregate 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
Active Select this option to activate a trunk group.
Dynamic
(LACP)
Select this check box to enable LACP for a trunk.
Port This field displays the port number.
Group Select the trunk group to which a port belongs.
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 back to the switch.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
