To configure LAG settings:
1. Select the check box next to the LAG to configure. You can select multiple LAGs to
apply the same setting to the selected interfaces. Select the check box in the heading
row to apply the same settings to all interfaces.
2. Configure or view the following settings:
• LAG Name. Specify the name to assign to the LAG. You may enter any string of up to
15 alphanumeric characters.
• Description. Specify the Description string to be attached to a LAG. It can be up to 64
characters in length.
• LAG ID. Displays the number assigned to the LAG. This field is read-only.
• Admin Mode. Select Enable or Disable from the menu. When the LAG (port channel)
is disabled, no traffic will flow and LACP PDUs will be dropped, but the links that form
the LAG (port channel) will not be released. The factory default is Enable.
• STP Mode. Select the Spanning Tree Protocol Administrative Mode associated with
the LAG.
• Link Trap. Specify whether you want to have a trap sent when link status changes.
The factory default is Disable, which will cause the trap to be sent.
• LAG Type. Select Static or LACP. When the LAG is static, it does not transmit or
process received LACP PDUs. The member ports do not transmit LACP PDUs, and
all the LACP PDUs it may receive are dropped. The default is Static.
• Active Ports. A listing of the ports that are actively participating members of this Port
Channel. A maximum of 8 ports can be assigned to a port channel.
