Port Trunk
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. Link aggregation
lets you group up to 4 consecutive ports into two dedicated connections. This feature can
expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex
mode, more detail information refers 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 Select .
3. LACP: If enable, the group is LACP static trunk group. If disable, the group is local
static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunk group. If connecting to the
device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunk group will be created
automatically.
4. Work ports: allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time. With LACP
static trunk group, the exceed ports are standby and can be aggregated if work ports
fail. If it is 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. Allow max four ports can be aggregated at
the same time. Click Add button to add the port. To remove unwanted ports,
select the port and click Remove button.
6. If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports on
