Parameter description:
yMethod:
This determines the method a port uses to aggregate with other ports.
None:
A port does not want to aggregate with any other port should choose this default setting.
LACP:
A port use LACP as its trunk method to get aggregated with other ports also using LACP.
Static:
A port use Static Trunk as its trunk method to get aggregated with other ports also using Static Trunk.
yGroup:
Ports choosing the same trunk method other than “None” must be assigned a unique Group number (i.e. Group ID, valid value is from 1 to 8) in order to declare that they wish to aggregate with each other.
yActive LACP:
This field is only referenced when a port’s trunk method is LACP.
Active:
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to its link partner right after the LACP protocol entity started to take control of this port.
Passive:
A Passive LACP port will not actively send LACPDU out before it receives an LACPDU from its link partner.
yAggtr:
Aggtr is an abbreviation of “aggregator”. Every port is also an aggregator, and its own aggregator ID is the same as its own Port No. We can regard an aggregator as a representative of a trunk group. Ports with same Group ID and using same trunk method will have the opportunity to aggregate to a particular aggregator port. This aggregator port is usually the port with the smallest Port No. within the trunk group.
yStatus:
This field represents the trunk status of a port which uses a trunk method other than “None”. It also represents the management link status of a port which uses the “None” trunk method.
