Description
Select the LACP mode from the drop-down list:
• Off. The aggregation interface does not transmit LACPDUs to other LACP
devices or respond to LACPDUs from other LACP devices. Select this mode
for a static LAG. This is the default setting.
• Active. The aggregation interface actively transmits LACPDUs to other LACP
devices to set up a link channel. Select this mode for a dynamic LAG with
active LACP.
• Passive. The aggregation interface responds only to LACPDUs from other
LACP devices. Select this mode for a dynamic LAG with passive LACP.
Note: Both the ReadyDATA 5200 and the device with which the channel link is
established need to support the same mode.
If the LACP mode is set to Active, select a value for the LACP timer from the
drop-down list:
• Short. LACPDUs are sent frequently, that is, there is a short interval between
LACPDU transmissions. This is the default setting.
• Long. LACPDUs are sent infrequently, that is, there is a long interval
between LACPDU transmissions.
Select one or more check boxes to specify the hash types to be used:
• Layer 2. The channel link that is established is based on the source and
destination MAC addresses.
• Layer 3. The channel link that is established is based on the source and
destination IP addresses.
• Layer 4. The channel link that is established is based on the source and
destination port numbers.
