• 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. |

"Note: 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.
