Creating an
LACP Trunk
To create an LACP trunk, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Advanced Config menu, select Trunk Config > Trunk
Config.
The Trunk Configuration page is shown in Figure 77.
2. On the row that corresponds to the trunk you want to enable as an
LACP trunk, from the list, choose one of the following settings:
Active - LACP Active: Ports are in an active negotiation state.
Passive - LACP Passive: Ports are in a passive state where the port
negotiates a bundle by exchanging LACP packets to the peer only if
the far end initiates it.
Note
LACP must be enabled at both ends of the link to be operational.
3. Click Apply.
Configuring the
LACP Port
Priority
LACP port priority determines which port is the backup port to another port
when the link to that port is down. The port with the lowest value has the
highest value, and is selected to join the link aggregation group first.
To configure the LACP port priority, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Advanced Config menu, select Trunk Config > Port Priority
Config.
