FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Port No

This field displays the port number(s) belonging to a static trunk group.

 

 

7.4State Activity

Ports in a dynamic trunk group can be in either active or passive state.

If a port is in active state, the port automatically sends LACP packets to negotiate a trunk link configuration with another link aggregation port on the other side of the link.

If a port is in passive state, the port only responds to LACP packets but cannot negotiate a trunk link configuration with another trunk port on the other end of the link.

Use the State Activity screen to set the state of the port(s) in a dynamic trunk group.

The following table describes the fields in this screen.
