LACP

6.7.2.1. Introduction

The Switch adheres to the IEEE 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking.
The IEEE 802.3ad standard describes the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for
dynamically creating and managing trunk groups.
When you enable LACP link aggregation on a port, the port can automatically negotiate with the
ports at the remote end of a link to establish trunk groups. LACP also allows port redundancy,
that is, if an operational port fails, then one of the "standby" ports become operational without
user intervention.
Please note that:

You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure
the ports for LACP trunking.

LACP only works on full-duplex links.

All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, and duplex
mode and flow control settings.

Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid
causing network topology loops.
System Priority:
The switch with the lowest system priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same)
becomes the LACP "server". The LACP "server" controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a
number to set the priority of an active port using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), the
