Chapter 17 Link Aggregation

Table 41 Advanced Application > Link Aggregation > Link Aggregation Setting > LACP (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

System

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

Priority

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.

 

 

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 is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP

Timeout

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.
