The switch supports a maximum of eight trunk groups for LACP and additional eight trunk
groups for Static Trunk. In the system capability view, only eight "real trunked" groups are
supported. An LACP trunk group with more than one ready member-ports is a "real trunked"
group. An LACP trunk group with only one or less than one ready member-ports is not a "real
trunked" group. Any Static trunk group is a "real trunked" group.
Per Trunking Group supports a maximum of 12 ready member-ports. Please note that some
decisions will automatically be made by the system while you are configuring your trunking ports.
Some configuration examples are listed below:
12 ports have already used Static Trunk Group ID 1, the 13th port willing to use the same
Static Trunk Group ID will be automatically set to use the "None" trunking method and its
Group ID will turn to 0. This means the port won't aggregate with other ports.
14 ports use LACP Trunk Group ID 1. At most 12 ports can aggregate together and transit
into the ready state.
A port using the "None" trunking method or Group ID 0 will be automatically set to use the
"None" trunking method with Group ID 0.

Function description:
Port setting/status is used to configure the trunk setting for the ports.
Parameter description:
Method:
This determines the method a port uses to aggregate with other ports.
None:
A port does not aggregate with other ports.
LACP:
A port uses LACP as its trunk method to aggregate with other ports also using LACP.
Static:
A port uses Static Trunk as its trunk method to aggregate with other ports also using Static Trunk.
Group:
Ports choosing the same trunking method other than "None" must be assigned a unique Group
number (i.e. Group ID, valid value is from 1 to eight) so they can aggregate with each other.
Active LACP:
This field is only available when a port's trunking method is LACP.
