LACP Setting The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner.
LACP Setting interface LACP Status When the LACP aggregator has been setup, the LACP status information will display as below: Protocol Active: Displays whether the LACP protocol is active. Partner Port Number: Displays the partner port number which is connecting to this port.
Spanning Tree The Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol and provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. The system also supports STP and the system will automatically detect the connected device that is running STP or RSTP protocol. RSTP System Configuration System Priority: A value used to identify the root bridge.

P2P: Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are dependent upon whether the port concerned can only be connected to one other bridge exactly (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared medium LAN segment).
RSTP Port Status interface SNMP Setting Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol developed to manage nodes (servers, workstations, routers, switches and hubs etc.) on an IP network. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. Network management systems learn of problems by receiving traps or change notices from network devices implementing SNMP.
SNMP Setting interface SNMP enabled: Mark the check box to enable SNMP. SNMP Contact: Displays System contact. SNMP Location: Displays System location. SNMP Trap destination: Assign the IP address of the destination for receiving the SNMP trap. SNMP Read Community: Read only community string. Enables requests accompanied by this string to display MIB-object information.
