State Activity
Having set up the LACP aggregator on the tab of Aggregator Setting, you can configure the state activity
for the members of the LACP trunk group. You can tick or cancel the checkbox beside the state display.
When you remove the tick mark to the port and click
, the port state activity will change to
Passive.
• Active: The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
• Passive: The 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 nodes or one active node can perform
dynamic LACP trunk.
A link having two passive LACP nodes will not perform dynamic LACP trunk
