Table 36 Configuration: Switch Configuration: Link Aggregation

TABLE

DESCRIPTION

LACP

System Priority

LACP system priority is a number between 0 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 Setting

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.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch.

11.7 DHCP Relay

This section describes the DHCP relay and shows you how to configure the DHCP Relay
screen.

11.7.1 Overview

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a DHCP server. You can configure the
switch to relay client TCP/IP configuration requests to a DHCP server and the server’s
responses back to the clients.

11.7.2 DHCP Relay Agent Information

The switch can add information to client TCP/IP configuration requests that it relays to a
DHCP server. This helps provide authentication about the source of the requests. You can also
specify additional information for the switch to add to the client TCP/IP configuration requests
that it relays to the DHCP server. Please refer to RFC 3046 for more details.

The DHCP relay agent information feature adds an Agent Information field to the option 82
field of the DHCP headers of client TCP/IP configuration request frames that the switch relays
to a DHCP server. The following lists the DHCP relay agent option 82 information that the
switch sends to the DHCP server:

• Slot ID (1 byte)
• Port ID (1 byte)
• VLAN ID (2 bytes)
