Active mode transmits LACP packets from this device, and config-
ures trunking by performing the negotiation with the opponent
side. The mode of the opponent side needs to be either Active or
Passive.
Passive mode does not transmit LACP packets from this device,
and configures trunking by performing the negotiation when
receiving LACP packets from the opponent side. The mode of the
opponent side must be Active.
Manual does not use LACP packets, and configures trunking force-
fully. The opponent side needs to configure, similarly.
