The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter
Description
Unit
Choose the switch in the switch stack to be configured by using the pull-down menu.
From/To
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Mode
Active
– Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames.This allows LACP
compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be changed dynamically as needs require.
In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the
group, at least one of the participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support
LACP.
Passive
– LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP control frames. In order to allow
the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes dynamically, one end of the connection must
have "active" LACP ports (see above).
After setting the previous parameters, click
Apply
to allow your changes to be implemented.The
LACP Port Table
shows which ports are active and/or
passive.
