2.5.5 Trunking

The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. In conclusion, Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad

2.5.5.1 Aggregator setting

System Priority:

A value used to identify the active LACP. The switch

 

with the lowest value has the highest priority and is

 

selected as the active LACP. Valid value is 1~65535.

Group ID:

There are seven trunk groups to provide configure.

 

Choose the “group id” and click “Get”.

LACP:

If enabled, the group is LACP static trunking group.

 

If disabled, the group is local static trunking group.

 

All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If

 

connecting to the device that also supports LACP,

 

the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created

 

automatically.

Work ports:

Allows for a maximum of four ports to be aggregated

 

at the same time. If LACP static trunking group,

 

exceeds ports is standby and able to aggregate if

 

work ports fail. If local static trunking group, the

 

number must be as same as the group member ports.
