Port Trunk
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. Link aggregation lets you group up to 4 ports into one dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires
Port Trunk - Aggregator setting
1.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.
2.Group ID: There are four trunk groups to provide configuration. Choose the "Group
ID" and click
Select .
3. | LACP: If enable, the group is LACP static trunk group. If disable, the group is local | |||
| static trunk group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunk group. While connecting to | |||
| the device that also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunk group will be created | |||
| automatically. |
|
|
|
4. | Work ports: Allow up to four ports to be aggregated at the same time. With LACP | |||
| static trunk group, the exceed ports are standby and can be aggregated later if work | |||
| ports fail. If it is local static trunk group, the number of ports must be the same as the | |||
| group member ports. |
|

|
5. | Select the ports to join the trunk group. Click | Add | button to add the port. To | |
| remove unwanted ports, select the port and click | Remove | button. | |
6. | If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports on | |||
| State Activity page. |
