4.7.2 LACP

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) - LACP LAG negotiate Aggregated Port links with other LACP ports located on
a different device. If the other device ports are also LACP ports, the devices establish a LAG between them.
The LACP Port Configuration page contains fields for assigning LACP properties to individual ports. The screen in Figure
4-30 appears.
The page includes the following fields:
• Port
• Protocol Enable
• Key Value
Indicate port 1 to port 24.
While a port be checked as "Normal", the port is not join to any Static Trunk
Group.
Specify the Joined Trunk Group. There're maximum eight trunk groups per
system. With different switch model, the maximum number of ports are as follow:
GSW-1602SF – Up to 8 ports per Trunk Group
GSW-2404SF – Up to 12 ports per Trunk Group
A port can be assigned to only one Trunk Group.
Figure 4-30 LACP Port Configuration
Indicate port 1 to port 24.
To Enable or disable the LCAP protocol on a selected port. Once the LACP
protocol be enabled, the system will start transmit the LACP control packets and
exchange with another LACP aware switch. If the linked switch didn't support
LACP, then the aggregated link will not be established.
The Key Value will be filed in the LACP control packets. Ports with same key
value will be set to the same LACP Group. If two ports are set with different key
value, they will become two different LCAP groups. The key value will also be the
identify ID to the linked LACP switch.
