Figure 4-40: Port Trunk-Aggregator setting interface (two ports are added to the left field with
LACP enabled)
This page includes the following fields:
OBJECT
System Priority
Group ID
LACP
Work ports
82
DESCRIPTION
A value which is used to identify the active LACP. The Managed Switch
with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the
active LACP peer of the trunk group.
There are 13 trunk groups to be selected. Assign the "Group ID" to the
trunk group.
• Enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP
trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first.
• Disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of
having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without
any handshaking with its member ports; but member ports won't
know that they should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk
group.
This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active
port up to four. With LACP static trunk group, e.g. you assign four ports
to be the members of a trunk group whose work ports column field is
set as two; the exceed ports are standby/redundant ports and can be
aggregated if working ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP),
the number of work ports must equal the total number of group
member ports.
