LABEL DESCRIPTION
Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Active Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
System Priority LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,535. 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 field identifies the link aggregation group, that is, one logical link containing multiple ports
Active Select this option to activate a trunk group.
Dynamic (LACP) Select this check box to enable LACP for a trunk.
Port This field displays the port number.
Group Select the trunk group to which a port belongs.
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 trunk 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 trunk. Set a short timeout (one second)
for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are removed from the trunk group as soon as
possible.
Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch.
