Link Aggregation 14-5
Table 14-2 Link Aggregation: Configuration
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
System Priority LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,355. The switch with the lowest system
priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same) becomes the LACP “server”.
The LACP “server” controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a number to set the priority
of an active port using Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP). The smaller the number,
the higher the priority level.
Group ID The index identifies the link aggregation group, that is, one logical link containing multiple
ports.
Active Make sure to select this check box to activate the link aggregation group. You may
temporarily deactivate a link aggregation group without deleting it by clearing this check box.
Dynamic(LACP) Select this check box to enable LACP for a link aggregation group.
Port These are the switch’s ports.
Group Use this drop-down list box to add the port to one of the link aggregation groups. A single
link aggregation group can have up to four ports.
LACP Timeout Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in order
to check that the peer port in the link aggregation group is still up. If a port does not respond
after three tries, then it is deemed to be “down” and is removed from the link aggregation
group. Set a short timeout (one second) for busy aggregated links to ensure that disabled
ports are removed from the link aggregation group as soon as possible.
Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.
The LACP timeout must be the same for all members of a link aggregation group.
