Static Trunk - HP Aruba JL253A Management And Configuration Manual

Admin and Operational key are usually the same, but using static LACP can alter the Operational key during
runtime, in which case the keys would differ.
The lacp key command configures both the Admin and Operational keys when using dynamic LACP trunks. It
only configures the Admin key if the trunk is a static LACP trunk. It is executed in the interface context.
Syntax:
[no] lacp [active | passive | key <0-65535>]
Sets the LACP key. During dynamic link aggregation using LACP, ports with the same key are aggregated as a
single trunk.
Enabling LACP and configuring an LACP key
switch(config)# int A2-A3 lacp active
switch(config)# int A2-A3 lacp key 500
switch(config)# show lacp

Static trunk

The switch uses the links you configure with the Port/Trunk Settings screen in the menu interface or the trunk
command in the CLI to create a static port trunk. The switch offers two types of static trunks: LACP and Trunk.
