4.5.2 Aggregator Information

When you set up the LACP aggregator, you will see the related information here.
 LACP disabled
Having set up the aggregator setting with LACP disabled, you will see the local static trunk group information on the tab of
Aggregator Information.
Description
A value which is used to identify the active LACP. The Managed Switch with the
lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP peer of
the trunk group.
There are 13 trunk groups to be selected. Assign the "Group ID" to the trunk
group.
 Enabled -- The trunk group uses LACP. A port which joins an LACP trunk
group has to make an agreement with its member ports first.
 Disabled -- The trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of
having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without any
handshaking with its member ports, but member ports won't know that they
should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk group.
This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active port up to
four. With LACP static trunk group, e.g., you assign four ports to be the
members of a trunk group whose work ports column field is set as two; the
exceeded ports are standby/redundant ports and can be aggregated if working
ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP), the number of work ports must
equal the total number of group member ports.
