Link Aggregation Control Protocol | |
|
|
Active | Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). |
|
|
System | LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,535. The switch with the lowest |
Priority | system priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same) becomes the |
| LACP “server”. The LACP “server” controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a |
| number to set the priority of an active port using Link Aggregate Control Protocol |
| (LACP). The smaller the number, the higher the priority level. |
Group ID | The field identifies the link aggregation group, that is, one logical link containing |
| multiple ports |
Active | Select this option to activate a trunk group. |
|
|
Dynamic | Select this check box to enable LACP for a trunk. |
(LACP) |
|
Port | This field displays the port number. |
|
|
Group | Select the trunk group to which a port belongs. |
|
|
LACP Timeout | Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in |
| order to check that the peer port in the trunk group is still up. If a port does not respond |
| after three tries, then it is deemed to be “down” and is removed from the trunk. Set a |
| short timeout (one second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are |
| removed from the trunk group as soon as possible. Select either 1 second or 30 |
| seconds. |
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch. |
|
|
Cancel | Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. |
