Default Priority. Specifies the packet priority for packets arriving at the port without tagging. The possible fields values are: 0–7. If packet arrives with a tag or priority tag, the priority is retrieved from the priority field of the tag.

LAG

Two types of link aggregation groups (LAGs) are supported:

Static Trunking. Ports are grouped manually.

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). Part of IEEE specification (802.3ad) that allows several physical ports to be bundled together to form a single logical channel. Link aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a LAG, such that a MAC client can treat the LAG as if it were a single link. Link aggregation can be used on 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps Ethernet full-duplex ports.

Example: A network administrator could combine a group of five 100-Mbps ports into a logical link that will function as a single 500-Mbps port (the actual throughput, however, will be less than the total sum of the links).

Basic—LAG Configuration

The Basic LAG Configuration screen lets you define the status and administration settings for up to two available LAGs. However, you first have to define the members of the LAGs. See “Basic— LAG Membership” on page 4-5. To configure LAG:

1.Select Switching > LAG > Basic > LAG Configuration. A screen similar to the following displays.
