Chapter 15 Link Aggregation
Table 37 Link Aggregation: Configuration (continued)
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
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 | 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. |
