The page includes the following fields:

Port

Indicate port 1 to port 8.

Protocol Enable To Enable or disable the LCAP protocol on a selected port. Once the LACP protocol be enabled, the system will start transmit the LACP control packets and exchange with another LACP aware switch. If the linked switch didn’t support LACP, then the aggregated link will not be established.

Key Value

The Key Value will be filed in the LACP control packets. Ports with same key

 

value will be set to the same LACP Group. If two ports are set with different key

 

value, they will become two different LCAP groups. The key value will also be the

 

identify ID to the linked LACP switch.

 

The default setting is “Auto

 

 

 

 

#Notice:

When using a port link aggregation, note that:

The ports that can be assigned to the same link aggregation have certain other restrictions (see

 

 

below).

 

Ports can only be assigned to one link aggregation.

 

The ports at both ends of a connection must be configured as link aggregation ports.

 

None of the ports in a link aggregation can be configured as a mirror source port or a mirror

 

target port.

 

All of the ports in a link aggregation have to be treated as a whole when moved from/to, added

 

or deleted from a VLAN.

 

The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat all the ports in a link aggregation as a whole.

 

Disconnect all link aggregation port cables or disable the link aggregation ports before removing

 

a port link aggregation to avoid creating a data loop.
