4.5.2 LACP Configuration

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) - LACP LAG negotiate Aggregated Port links with other LACP ports located on a different device. LACP allows switches connected to each other to discover automatically whether any ports are member of the same LAG.

This page allows the user to inspect the current LACP port configurations, and possibly change them as well. The LACP port settings relate to the currently selected stack unit, as reflected by the page header. The LACP Port Configuration screen in Figure 4-5-4appears.

The page includes the following fields:

Object		Description
•	Port	The switch port number.
•	LACP Enabled	Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an
		aggregation when 2 or more ports are connected to the same partner. LACP can
		form max 12 LLAGs per switch and 2 GLAGs per stack.
•	Key	The Key value incurred by the port, range 1-65535 . The Auto setting will set the
		key as appropriate by the physical link speed, 10Mb = 1, 100Mb = 2, 1Gb = 3.
		Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. Ports with the
		same Key value can participate in the same aggregation group, while ports with
		different keys cannot.
		The default setting is “Auto”
•	Role	The Role shows the LACP activity status. The Active will transmit LACP packets
