LACP Port Settings
Figure 7- 18. LACP Port Settings window
The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter Description
From/To
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.
Mode
Active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames. This
allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be changed
dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated port group,
that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating devices must
designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support LACP.
Passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP control
frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes
dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above).
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow your changes to be implemented. The LACP Port Table shows which
ports are active and/or passive.
The LACP Port Settings window is used in
conjunction with the Link Aggregation window
to create port trunking groups on the Switch.
Using the following window, the user may set
which ports will be active and passive in
processing and sending LACP control frames. To
view this window, click L2 Features > Trunking
> LACP Port Settings.
