Transition Networks MIL-SM802GAF, MIL-SM8TXAF2GPA user manual Port Trunk Aggregator setting

Port Trunk

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, 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 4 ports into one dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, for more detail information please refer to IEEE 802.3ad.

Port Trunk - Aggregator setting

1.System Priority: A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.

2.Group ID: There are four trunk groups to provide configuration. Choose the "Group

ID" and click

Select .

3.	LACP: If enable, the group is LACP static trunk group. If disable, the group is local
	static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunk group. While connecting to
	the device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunk group will be created
	automatically.
4.	Work ports: Allow up to four ports to be aggregated at the same time. With LACP
	static trunk group, the exceed ports are standby and can be aggregated later if work
	ports fail. 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 join the trunk group. Click	Add	button to add the port. To
	remove unwanted ports, select the port and click	Remove		button.
6.	If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports on
	State Activity page.
