Lacp Port Settings - D-Link xStack DGS-3600 User Manual

LACP Port Settings

The LACP Port Settings 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. To view this window, click L2 Features > Trunking >
LACP Port Settings.
The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter Description
From/To A consecutive group of ports may be
configured starting with the selected port.
Mode Active - Active LACP ports are capable of
processing
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).
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow your
changes to be implemented. The LACP Port Table shows which
ports are active and/or passive.
