LACP Settings
The switch supports both static trunking and dynamic Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is specified in IEEE 802.3ad. Static trunks have to be manually configured at both ends of the link, on the other hand, LACP configured ports can automatically negotiate a trunked link with LACP- configured ports on another device. You can configure any number of ports on the switch as LACP, as long as they are not already configured as part of a static trunk. If ports on another device are also configured as LACP, the switch and the other device will negotiate a trunk link between them. If an LACP trunk consists of more than four ports, all other ports will be placed in a standby mode. Should one link in the trunk fail, one of the standby ports will automatically be activated to replace it.
You can use the LACP Setting page to configure LACP for each port.
Enabling LACP
1.On the LACP Setting page, click the box under the column labeled “LACP Enabled on Port” for the ports you want to enable LACP.
2.Input a key value for the Link Aggregate Group.
3.Click APPLY.
Disabling LACP
1.On the LACP Setting page, click the box under the column labeled “LACP Enabled on Port” to remove the check mark for the ports you want to disable LACP.
2.Click APPLY.
N o t e | Do not enable LACP or static trunks for ports 1 and 2 at the same time. Doing |
| so will result in the switch resetting to factory default configuration when |
| power cycled. |

Field Attributes
•Port – The port number.
•LACP Enabled on Port – Allows LACP to be enabled or disabled. When the box is checked, LACP is enabled.
•Key Value (0..255, 0 means autogenerated key) – Ports in an aggregated link group must have the same LACP port Key. For a port to be allowed to join an aggregated group, the port Key must be set to the same value. When set to zero, the port Key is automatically set by the switch.
