Managing LACP Trunks
The following procedures explain how to create and manage LACP
trunks:
❑ Enabling or Disabling LACP on page 139
❑ Setting a LACP System Priority on page 140
❑ Creating an Aggregator on page 141
❑ Modifying an Aggregator on page 143
❑ Deleting an Aggregator on page 145
❑ Configuring LACP Port Parameters on page 146
❑ Displaying LACP Port or Aggregator Status on page 148
For background information, refer to LACP Trunk Overview on page 123.
Enabling or
Disabling LACP
This procedure explains how to enable or disable LACP on the switch.
When you enable LACP, the switch begins to transmit LACPDU packets
from ports assigned to aggregators. If ports in an aggregator receive
LACPDU packets from a remote device, the switch creates aggregate
trunks. If no aggregators are defined, no LACPDU packets are
transmitted. When you disable LACP, any ports in existing aggregators
stop sending LACPDU packets and function as regular Fast Ethernet
ports.
Caution
Do not disable LACP if there are defined aggregators. without first
disconnecting all cables connected to the aggregate trunk ports.
Otherwise, a network loop might occur, resulting in a broadcast
storm and poor network performance.
To enable or disable LACP, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
2. From the Port Configuration menu, type 4 to select Port Trunking and
LACP.
The Port Trunking and LACP menu is shown in Figure 36 on page 134.
3. Type 2 to select LACP Configuration.
