The user-changeable parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Group ID Select an ID number for the group, between 1 and 32.
State Trunk groups can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled. This is used to turn a port
trunking group on or off. This is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a bandwidth intensive
network device or to have an absolute backup aggregation group that is not under automatic
control.
Master Port Choose the Master Port for the trunk group using the pull-down menu.
Member Ports Choose the members of a trunked group. Up to eight ports per group can be assigned to a
group.
Flooding Port A trunking group must designate one port to allow transmission of broadcasts and unknown
unicasts.
Active Port In Static mode, these ports are uplinked ports, while in LACP mode, these ports are protocol
activated ports.
Type This pull-down menu allows you to select between Static and LACP (Link Aggregation Control
Protocol). LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a Port Trunking Group.
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow changes to be implemented. Successfully created trunk groups will be
show in the Link Aggregation Group Entries table as seen in Figure 7-17.
