Chapter 15 Link Aggregation

•You must connect all ports point-to-point to the same Ethernet switch and configure the ports for LACP trunking.

•LACP only works on full-duplex links.

•All ports in the same trunk group must have the same media type, speed, duplex mode and flow control settings.

Configure trunk groups or LACP before you connect the Ethernet switch to avoid causing network topology loops.

DESCRIPTION

Index

This field displays the trunk ID to identify a trunk group, that is, one logical link

 

containing multiple ports.

 

 

Enabled Port

These are the ports you have configured in the Link Aggregation screen to be in the

 

trunk group.

 

 

1.Port Priority and Port Number are 0 as it is the aggregator ID for the trunk group, not the individual port.
