VLAN ID:
VLAN ID is a 12-bit number. Its range is from 2 to 4094, while 0, 1, and 4095
are reserved for special purposes.

Priority:
The PCP (Priority Code Point) is a 3-bit number and reserved for QoS. The
definition complies with IEEE 802.1p protocol, ranging from 0 to 7, with 0 as the
default value. In normal cases, you don't need to set this value. Using the default will
do just fine.

set VLAN ID for the aggregation group.
