Chapter 4. Port Management
The Key value incurred by the port, range 1-65535 . The Auto setting will set
the key as appropriate by the physical link speed, 10Mb = 1, 100Mb = 2, 1Gb
= 3. Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. Ports with
the same Key value can participate in the same aggregation group, while ports
with different keys cannot.
Role:
The Role shows the LACP activity status. The Active will transmit LACP
packets each second, while Passive will wait for a LACP packet from a partner
(speak if spoken to).
Timeout:
The Timeout controls the period between BPDU transmissions. Fast will
transmit LACP packets each second, while Slow will wait for 30 seconds
before sending a LACP packet.
Prio:
The Prio controls the priority of the port. If the LACP partner wants to form a
larger group than is supported by this device then this parameter will control
which ports will be active and which ports will be in a backup role. Lower
number means greater priority.
