GE GE-DS-82, 82-POE user manual Aggregator Information, System Priority, Lacp, Work ports

Chapter 4: Web-Based Management

This page includes the following fields:

OBJECT	DESCRIPTION
	A value, which is used to identify the active LACP. The Managed Switch
System Priority	with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the
	active LACP peer of the trunk group.
Group ID	There are 13 trunk groups to be selected. Assign the "Group ID" to the
	trunk group.
	• Enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP
	trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first.
LACP	• Disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of
	having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without
	any handshaking with its member ports; but member ports won't
	know that they should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk
	group.
	This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active
	port up to four. With LACP static trunk group, e.g. you assign four ports
Work ports	to be the members of a trunk group whose work ports column field is
	set as two; the exceed ports are standby/redundant ports and can be
	aggregated if working ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP),
	the number of work ports must equal the total number of group
	member ports.

NOTE: A trunk group, including member ports split between two switches, has to enable the LACP function of the two switches.
