In addition the fields appearing on the LAG Configuration Page, the LAG Configuration Settings Page contains the following fields:

• Admin Status — Displays the LAG operational status. Changes to the LAG state are active only after the device is reset. The possible field values are:

— Up — Indicates that the LAG is currently operating.

— Down — Indicates that the LAG is currently not operating.

• Current Status — Displays the current status of the LAG.

• Reactivate Suspended — Reactivates a port if the port has been disabled through the locked port security option.

•Operational Status — Indicates the port operational status. Possible field values are:

—Suspended — The port is currently active, and is not receiving or transmitting traffic.

—Active — The port is currently active and is receiving and transmitting traffic.

—Disable — The port is currently disabled, and is not receiving or transmitting traffic.

•Admin Auto Negotiation — Enables or disables Auto Negotiation on the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a LAG to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode and flow control (the flow control default is disabled) abilities to its partner.

•Admin Advertisement — Defines the auto-negotiation setting the port advertises. The possible field values are:

—Max Capability — Indicates that all port speeds and Duplex mode settings are accepted.

—10 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 10 mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting.

—100 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 100 mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting.

—1000 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 1000 mbps speed port and full duplex mode setting.

•Current Advertisement — The port advertises its speed to its neighbor port to start the negotiation process. The possible field values are those specified in the Admin advertisement field.

•Neighbor Advertisement — Indicates the neighboring port’s advertisement settings. The field values are identical to the Admin Advertisement field values.

•Admin Speed — The configured rate for the port. The port type determines what speed setting options are available. Admin speed can only be designated when the Admin Auto Negotiation field is disabled.

•Current Speed — The actual synchronized port speed (bps).

•Admin Flow Control — Enables/disables flow control, or enables the auto negotiation of flow control on the LAG. Flow Control mode is effective on the ports operating in Full Duplex in the LAG.
