State Activity

Once the LACP aggregator has been configured, you can configure the port state activity.
Port state activity can be set to active or passive.
Active – port automatically sends LACP protocol packets
Passive – port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets and responds
only if it receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.
Note: A link having either two active LACP ports or one active port can perform
dynamic LACP trunking. A link with two passive LACP ports will not perform dynamic
LACP trunking because both ports are waiting for the LACP protocol packet from the
opposite device. The active status will be created automatically if you are the active
LACP's actor when selecting the trunking port.

Port Mirroring

Port mirroring is a method used to monitor the traffic on a switched network. A specific
port can monitor traffic through mirrored ports. The in and out traffic of a monitored port
will be duplicated into the mirrored port.
Destination port – mirror port can be used to see all monitor port traffic. You can
connect mirror port to LAN analyzer or Netxray. Select the mirroring port state:
o RX – RX packet only
o TX – TX packet only
