Tips:
1. The LAG can be deleted by clearing its all member ports.
2. A port can only be added to a LAG. If a port is the member of a LAG or is dynamically
aggregated as the LACP member, the port number will be displayed in gray and can not be
selected.

5.2.3 LACP Config

LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is defined in IEEE802.3ad and enables the dynamic link
aggregation and disaggregation by exchanging LACP packets with its partner. The switch can
dynamically group similarly configured ports into a single logical link, which will highly extend the
bandwidth and flexibly balance the load.
With the LACP feature enabled, the port will notify its partner of the aggregation ID (consist of
System Priority, system MAC address and the Admin Key). A dynamic aggregation group will only
be formed between ports having the same aggregation ID. Up to fourteen aggregation groups can
be formed by the switch. If the amount of the configured aggregation groups exceeds the
maximum number, the group with smaller System Priority takes the priority to be aggregated.
Similarly, up to eight ports can be selected in an aggregation group. Therefore, the port also has
the priority to be selected as the dynamic aggregation group member. The port with smaller Port
Priority will be considered as the preferred one. If the two port priorities are equal; the port with
smaller port number is preferred.
On this page, you can configure the LACP feature of the switch.
