Active | Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). | |
|
| |
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. | |

| 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. | |
