LACP Port Setting

The LACP Port Setting window is used in conjunction with the Link Aggregation window 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.
The user may set the following parameters:

Description
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
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).
