LACP Port Settings

The LACP Port Settings window is used to create port trunking groups on the Switch. Using the following window,
the user may set which ports will be active and passive in processing and sending LACP control frames.
To view the Trunking Settings window click L2 Features > LACP Port Settings:
The following fields can be set
Parameter Description
From Port/To Port A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Activity
Active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames. This
allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be changed
dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated port group,
that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating devices must
designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support LACP.
Passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP control
frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes
dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above).
Click Apply to implement changes made.
