40 CHAPTER 2: PORT CONFIGURATION
to a static one. In the former case, LACP shall be disabled at the member ports
automatically, while in the latter case, LACP shall remain enabled.
Adding or Deleting Ethernet Ports to or from an Aggregation Group
You can add/delete ports into/from a manual or static LACP aggregation group,
but member port adding or deleting for a dynamic LACP aggregation group is
implemented by the system.
Perform the following configuration in corresponding view.
Note that:
■ You cannot enable LACP at the mirrored port, port with static MAC address
configured, port with static ARP configured, port with 802.1x enabled.
■ You must delete the aggregation group, instead of the port, if the manual or
static LACP aggregation group contains only one port.
Setting or Deleting an Aggregation Group Descriptor
Perform the following configuration in system view.
By default, an aggregation group has no descriptor.
Note that if you have saved the current configuration with the save command,
the configured manual aggregation groups, static LACP aggregation groups and
corresponding descriptors will be retained when the system reboots. However, the
dynamic LACP groups and descriptors are not retained when the system reboots.
Configuring System Priority
The LACP refers to system IDs in determining if the member ports are selected or
standby one for a dynamic LACP aggregation group. The system ID consists of
two-byte system priority and six-byte system MAC, that is, system ID = system
priority + system MAC. In comparing system IDs, the system first compares system
priority values; if they are equal, then it compares system MAC addresses. The
smaller system ID is considered prior.
Changing system priority may affect the priority levels of member ports, and
further their selected or standby state.
