DES-3526 / DES-3526DC Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch
Description
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control
frames. This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the
group may be changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to
change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at
least one of the participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both
devices must support LACP.
Passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP
control frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and
make changes dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP
ports (see above).
