The aggregated ports can
interconnect to the other switch which
also supports Port Trunking. The
Switch Supports 2 types of port
trunking. One is Static Trunk, the
other is 802.3ad. When the other end
uses 802.3ad LACP, you
should
assign 802.3ad LACP to the trunk.
When the other end uses
non-802.3ad, you can then use Static
Trunk.
In practical, the Static Trunk
is suggested.
There are 2 configuration pages,
Aggregation Setting and Aggregation
Status.
Aggregation Setting
Trunk Size:
The switch can support up to 8 trunk groups. Each trunk group can support up
to 8 member ports. Since the member ports should use same speed/duplex, the maximum
trunk size is decided by the port volume in total.
Group ID:
Group ID is the ID for the port trunking group. Ports with same group ID are in
the same group. Trunk ID from Trunk 1 to Trunk 8 can be selected.
Trunk Type: Static
and
802.3ad LACP.
Each Trunk Group can support either Static or
802.3ad LACP. Trunk Type of the non-active ports cannot be altered.
Load Balance Type:
Each Trunk Group can support srcMAC, dstMAC, srcIP, dstIP and it’s
combination.
src-mac -> load distribution is based on the source MAC address
dst-mac -> load distribution is based on the destination-MAC address
src-dst-mac -> load distribution is based on the source and destination MAC address
src-ip -> load distribution is based on the source IP address
dst-ip -> load distribution is based on the destination IP address
src-dst-ip -> load distribution is based on the source and destination IP address
Extended setting in CLI:
Port Priority:
The command allows you to change the port priority setting of the specific
port. LACP port priority is configured on each port using LACP. The port priority can be
configured through the CLI. The higher the number, the lower the priority. The default value
is 32768.
LACP Timeout:
The LACPDU is generated and continue transmit within the LACP group.
The interval time of the LACPDU Long timeout is 30 sec, this is default setting. The
LACPDP Short timeout is 1 sec, the command to change from Long to Short is only applied
to the CLI, the web GUI doesn’t support this. Once the LACP port doesn’t receive the
LACPDP 3 times, that means the port may leave the group without earlier inform or does
not detect by the switch, then the port will be removed from the group.
