LACP Port Setting

The LACP Port Setting window is used in conjunction with the Link Aggregation window to create port trunking groups on the
Switch. Using the following window, the user may set which ports will be active and passive in processing and sending LACP
control frames.
The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter
From/To
Mode
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow your changes to be implemented. The LACP Port Table shows which
ports are active and/or passive.
Figure 6- 11. LACP Port Settings window
Description
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames.
This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be
changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to change an
aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the
participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support
LACP.
Passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP control
frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes
dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above).
