2.5.5 Trunking
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. In
conclusion, Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated
connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires
full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad
2.5.5.1 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. Valid value is 1~65535.
2. Group ID: There are seven trunk groups to provide configure. Choose the "group id" and click
"Get".
3. LACP: If enable, the group is LACP static trunking group. If disable, the group is local static
trunking group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that also
