DESCRIPTION

Global

 

 

 

LACP StateSelect Enable to activate the link aggregation control protocol.

 

 

LACP System

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

Priority

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.

 

 

Load Balance

Select the outgoing traffic distribution type. Packets from the same source and/or to the

Algorithm

same destination are sent over the same link within the trunk. By default, the Switch uses

 

the src-dst-IP + src-dst-macdistribution type. If the Switch is behind a router, the

 

packet’s destination or source MAC address will be changed. In this case, set the Switch to

 

distribute traffic based on its IP address to make sure port trunking can work properly.

 

Select src-dst-macto distribute traffic based on a combination of the packet’s source and

 

destination MAC addresses.

 

Select src-dst-ip + src-dst-macto distribute traffic based on a combination of the

 

packet’s source and destination IP addresses.
