Group Name:
Specify the trunking group name of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
Port Members:
Select the trunk group to which a port belongs.
- Must have 2 to 16 ports in each trunking group.
- Each port can only be grouped in one group.
-
If the port is already set On in LACP Port Configuration, it can‟t be grouped anymore.
Click
OK
and return back to
Link Aggregation
menu.
Note:
All of the trunking ports in the group must be members of the same VLAN and their
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) status and QoS default priority configurations must be
identical.
Port locking, port mirroring and 802.1X can not be enabled on the trunk group.
Furthermore, the LACP aggregated links must all be of the same speed and should be
configured as full duplex.
4.4.3.3 LACP Port Configuration
The Managed Switch supports dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) which is
specified in IEEE 802.3ad. Static trunks have to be manually configured at both ends of the
link. In other words, LACP configured ports can automatically negotiate a trunked link with
LACP configured ports on another devices. You can configure any number of ports on the
Managed Switch as LACP, as long as they are not already configured as part of a static
trunk. If ports on other devices are also configured as LACP, the Managed Switch and the
other devices will negotiate a trunk link between them. If an LACP trunk consists of more
than four ports, all other ports will be placed in a standby mode. Should one link in the trunk
fail, one of the standby ports will automatically be activated to replace it.
Configure Port Protocol:
Click the option
LACP Port Configuration
from the
Link Aggregation
menu and then
select
“Protocol” from the pull-down menu of Select Setting. The screen page is shown
below.
