Control Protocol

 

 

 

Active

Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

 

 

System Priority

LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,535. The switch with the lowest

 

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 Aggregation 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.
