UIDELINES
To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before
◆
connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling
LACP.
If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the
◆
trunk will be activated automatically.
A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be
◆
assigned the next available trunk ID.
If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have LACP
◆
enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will
only be enabled if one of the active links fails.
All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full
◆
duplex, either by forced mode or auto-negotiation.
◆
Trunks dynamically established through LACP will be shown on the
LACP System Status page
pages under the Monitor menu.
Ports assigned to a common link aggregation group (LAG) must meet
◆
the following criteria:
– 114 –
(page
225) and LACP Port Status
(page
226)
