Click PORT > Link Aggregation > Link Aggregation Control Protocol to display the screen shown next. See
Dynamic Link Aggregation on page 224 for more information on dynamic link aggregation.
Note: Do NOT configure this screen unless you want to enable dynamic link aggregation.
Criteria Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the same
destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses the
src-dst-mac
distribution type. If the Switch is behind a router, the packet’s destination or source MAC address
will be changed. In this case, set the Switch to distribute traffic based on its IP address to make
sure port trunking can work properly.
Select src-mac to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source MAC address.
Select dst-mac to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination MAC address.
Select src-dst-mac to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and
destination MAC addresses.
Select src-ip to distribute traffic based on the packet’s source IP address.
Select dst-ip to distribute traffic based on the packet’s destination IP address.
Select src-dst-ip to distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and
destination IP addresses.
SLOT This field appears only in Stacking mode. Click the drop-down list to choose the slot number of the
Switch in a stack.
Port This field displays the port number. In Stacking mode, the first number represents the slot ID and
the second is the port number. Please note that the default stacking ports (the last four ports of
your Switch) cannot be configured. They are reserved for stacking only.
Group Select the trunk group to which a port belongs.
Note: When you enable the port security feature on the Switch and configure port
security settings for a port, you cannot include the port in an active trunk group.
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 Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
