Port Trunking (LACP)
The Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP) provides a standard means for bonding multiple
links together to achieve higher data rates.
Link aggregation lets you group up to 4 consecutive ports into two dedicated
connections. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, for more detail information
please refer to IEEE 802.3ad.
Aggregator setting
1.
System Priority: a value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the
lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.
2.
Group ID: There are three trunk groups to provide configure. Choose the ‘Group
ID’ and click
3.
Select
.
LACP: If enabled, the group is an LACP static trunk group. If disabled, the group is
local static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunk groups. If connecting
to a device that also supports LACP, then the LACP dynamic trunk group will be
automatically created.
4.
Work ports: allows a maximum of four ports that can be aggregated at the same
time. With LACP static trunk group, the additional ports are standby ports and can
be aggregated if working ports fail. If they are on the local static trunk group, the
number of ports must be the same as the group member ports.
5.
Select the ports to join the trunk group. A max four ports can be aggregated at the
same time. Click
the port and click

If LACP is enabled, you can configure LACP Active / Passive status in each of the
ports on State Activity page.
