USAGE GUIDELINES
■
To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before connecting the ports,
and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.
■
If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the trunk will be activated
automatically.
■
A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be assigned the next
available trunk ID.
■
If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have LACP enabled, the additional
ports will be placed in standby mode, and will only be enabled if one of the active links fails.
■
All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full duplex, either by forced
mode or auto-negotiation.
■
Trunks dynamically established through LACP will be shown on the LACP System Status page
by path Monitor, LACP, System Status.
■
Ports assigned to a common link aggregation group (LAG) must meet the following criteria:
◇
Ports must have the same LACP Admin Key. Using auto configuration of the Admin Key will
avoid this problem.
◇
One of the ports at either the near end or far end must be set to active initiation mode.
■
Aggregation Mode Configuration located under the Static Aggregation menu (see "Configuring
Static Trunks" on section 6.3.2) also applies to LACP.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
■
Port – Port identifier.
■
LACP Enabled – Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an
aggregation when two or more ports are connected to the same partner. LACP can form up to 12
LAGs per switch.
■
Key – The LACP administration key must be set to the same value for ports that belong to the
same LAG. (Range: 0-65535; Default: Auto) Select the Specific option to manually configure a
