Port Trunk – Aggregator Information interface
Port Trunk - State Activity
When you had setup the LACP aggregator, you can configure port state activity. You can
mark or un-mark the port. When you mark the port and click Apply button the port
state activity will change to Active. Opposite is 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 1. A link has either two active LACP ports or one active port can
perform dynamic LACP trunk.
2. A link has two passive LACP ports will not perform dynamic LACP trunk
because both ports are waiting for an LACP protocol packet from the
opposite device.
3. If you are active LACP’s actor, after you have selected trunk port, the active
status will be created automatically.
