LACP Port Setting

The LACP Port Settings 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.

After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow changes to be implemented. The LACP Port Table shows
which ports are active and/or passive.
Description
Choose the switch in the switch stack to be configured by using the pull-down
menu.
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).
