LABEL	DESCRIPTION
LACP Active	Select this option to enable LACP for a trunk.
Port	This field displays the port number.
*	Settings in this row apply to all ports.
	Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row
	first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
	Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
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 to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
	these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation
	panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel	Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
