User’s Manual of GSD-800S / GSD-802S / GSD-802PS
The page includes the following fields:
•
Port
Indicate port 1 to port 8.
•
Protocol Enable
To Enable or disable the LCAP protocol on a selected port. Once the LACP
protocol be enabled, the system will start transmit the LACP control packets and
exchange with another LACP aware switch. If the linked switch didn’t support
LACP, then the aggregated link will not be established.
•
Key Value
The Key Value will be filed in the LACP control packets. Ports with same key
value will be set to the same LACP Group. If two ports are set with different key
value, they will become two different LCAP groups. The key value will also be the
identify ID to the linked LACP switch.
The default setting is “
Auto

Notice:
When using a port link aggregation, note that:
•
The ports that can be assigned to the same link aggregation have certain other restrictions (see
below).
•
Ports can only be assigned to one link aggregation.
•
The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as link aggregation ports.
•
None of the ports in a link aggregation can be configured as a mirror source port or a mirror
target port.
•
All of the ports in a link aggregation have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added
or deleted from a VLAN.
•
The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat all the ports in a link aggregation as a whole.
•
Disconnect all link aggregation port cables or disable the link aggregation ports before removing
a port link aggregation to avoid creating a data loop.
