Link Aggregation Configuration
53
7.1.2 Introduction to LACP
The purpose of link aggregation control protocol (LACP) is to implement dynamic link
aggregation and disaggregation. This protocol is based on IEEE802.3ad and uses LACPDUs
(link aggregation control protocol data units) to interact with its peer.
After LACP is enabled on a port, LACP notifies the following information of the port to its
peer by sending LACPDUs: priority and MAC address of this system, priority, number and
operation key (it is so called O-Key) of the port. Upon receiving the information, the peer
compares the information with the information of other ports on the peer device to determine
the ports that can be aggregated with the receiving port. In this way, the two parties can reach
an agreement in adding/removing the port to/from a dynamic aggregation group.
7.1.3 Operation Key (O-Key)
An operation key of an aggregation port is a configuration combination generated by
system depending on the configurations of the port (rate, duplex mode, other basic
configuration, and administrative key) when the port is aggregated.
1) The ports in the same aggregation group must have the same operation key (O-Key)
and administrative key (A-Key).
2) The administrative key (A-Key) and operation key (O-Key) of an LACP-enable
aggregation port is equal to its aggregation group ID+1.
3) The administrative key (A-Key) and operation key (O-Key) of an LACP-enable
aggregation port cannot be modified.
4) The operation key (O-Key) which is contained in LACPDU of an LACP-enable
aggregation port is the same as its peer.
7.1.4 Static Aggregation Group
7.1.4.1 Introduction to static aggregation
A static aggregation group is manually created. All its member ports are manually added
and can be manually removed. Each static aggregation group must contain at least one port.
When a static aggregation group contains only one port, you cannot remove the whole
aggregation group unless you remove the port.
LACP is disabled on the member ports of static aggregation groups, and enabling LACP
on such a port will not take effect.
