Trunk Group Operation Using LACP

The switch can automatically configure a dynamic LACP trunk group or you can manually configure a static LACP trunk group.

LACP requires full-duplex (FDx) links of the same media type (10/100Base-T, 100FX, etc.) and the same speed, and enforces speed and duplex conformance across a trunk group. For most installations, ProCurve recommends that you leave the port Mode settings at Auto (the default). LACP also operates with Auto-10, Auto-100, and Auto-1000(if negotiation selects FDx), and 10FDx, 100FDx, and 1000FDx settings.

LACP trunk status commands include:
