2.6.1 LACP Function
The LACP function is link aggregation which uses IEEE802.3 compliant LACP. Link aggregation of feasible
maximum level is continuously provided between the systems having LACP.
Confirmation of consistency of link aggregation or confirmation of link consistency and accuracy of fault
detection is improved by using LACP.
Merits of introduction
▪ As it confirms consistency with the adjacent equipment, for example if there are mistakes such as wrong
judgment of the port, the communication begins by confirming one by one destination connected to the correct
link by using the protocol levels. Therefore, communication with the wrong connection is not possible.
▪ When the LACP packet from the adjacent device is not received during the fixed time, since there is
determination of fault link, fault detection of link which exceeds the fault detection range of device port is
possible.
Points to be noted
▪ It is necessary to enable the LACP before connection for the link aggregation which uses LACP. Link
aggregation other than LACP where 'static' is specified in link aggregation mode cannot be connected.
▪ By specifying 'passive' in link aggregation operation mode, link aggregation which is similarly set to 'passive'
before connection, cannot be configured. Specify 'active' for either of the two.Both can be specified as 'active'.
