Method:
This determines the method a port uses to aggregate with other ports.
None: A port does not want to aggregate with any other port
should choose this default setting.
LACP: A port use LACP as its trunk method to get aggregated with
other ports also using LACP.
Static: A port use Static Trunk as its trunk method to get aggrega-
ted with other ports also using Static Trunk.
Group:
Ports choosing the same trunking method other than "None" must be
assigned a unique Group number (i.e. Group ID, valid value is from 1
to 8) in order to declare that they wish to aggregate with each other.
Active LACP:
This field is only referenced when a port's trunking method is LACP.
Active:
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to its link partner
right after the LACP protocol entity started to take control of this
port.
Passive:
A Passive LACP port will not actively send LACPDU out before it
receives an LACPDU from its link partner.
Aggtr:
Aggtr is an abbreviation of "aggregator". Every port is also an aggre-
gator, and its own aggregator ID is the same as its own Port No. We
can regard an aggregator as a representative of a trunking group.
Ports with same Group ID and using same trunking method will have
the opportunity to aggregate to a particular aggregator port. This
aggregator port is usually the port with the smallest Port No. within
the trunking group.
Status:
This field represents the trunking status of a port which uses a trun-
king method other than "None". It also represents the management
link status of a port which uses the "None" trunking method. "---"
means "not ready".
