LACP settings
In this section, you may configure LACP groups. You can set up to 5 groups for SBC-1000.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
— protocol, designed for combining multiple physical channels into
one logical channel.

–
Group description
— LACP group name;
–
Enable
— when checked, LACP will be enabled;
–
Mode
— LACP operation mode:
–
active-backup
— one interface operates in active mode, while
others in standby mode. If an active interface goes out of
service, the control will be transferred to one of the standby
interfaces. This function doesn't have to be supported by the
switch.
–
balance-xor
— packet transmission is allocated among the
interfaces merged according to the formula: ((source MAC
address) XOR (destination MAC address)) % number of
interfaces. A certain interface operates with a specific
recipient. This mode allows balancing the load and increasing
the robustness;
–
802.3ad
— dynamic port aggregation. This mode enables
significant boost of the incoming and outgoing traffic
bandwidth through utilization of every single aggregated
interface. This function must be supported by the switch, and
in some cases it requires an additional switch setting;
–
Primary
— primary interface configuration;
–
Updelay
— interface change time if the primary interface is unavailable;
–
Miimon
— MII monitoring time, frequency in milliseconds;
–
LACP rate
— the transmission interval of the LACPDU control packets:
–
fast
— transmission interval is 1 second;
–
slow
— transmission interval is 30 seconds.
–
Combine interfaces in PortChannel
— list of ports added to LACP group.
