Port Control interface
Port Trunk
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized
method for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link. This
allows their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach an agreement on
the identity of the Link Aggregation Group, move the link to that Link
Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in
an orderly manner. Link aggregation lets you group up to four consecutive
ports into two dedicated connections. This feature expands bandwidth to a
device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode.
Aggregator setting
1. System Priority: a value used to identify the active LACP. The switch
with the lowest value has the highest priority. It is selected as the active
LACP.
2. Group ID: There are four trunk groups available. Choose the "Group
ID" and click Select
3. LACP: If enabled, the group is an LACP static trunk group. If disabled,
the group is local static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic
trunk. If connected to a device that also supports LACP, the LACP
dynamic trunk group is automatically created.
4. Work ports: A maximum of four ports can be aggregated at the same
time. With LACP static trunk group, any excess ports are considered
standby and can be aggregated if a work port fails. If it is local static
trunk group, the number of ports must be the same as the group
member ports.
5. Select the ports to add to the trunk group. Click Add button to add
the port. To remove unwanted ports, select the port and click
Remove button.
