LACP Setup

The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation Control
Protocol (LACP). LACP configured ports can automatically negotiate a trunked link
with LACP-configured ports on another device. You can configure any number of
ports on the switch as LACP, as long as they are not already configured as part of a
static trunk. If ports on another device are also configured as LACP, the switch and
the other device will negotiate a trunk link between them. If an LACP trunk consists
of more than eight 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.
