LACP Port Configuration
Setting Description
Port The switch port number.
LACP Enabled
Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an
aggregation when 2 or more ports are connected to the same partner.
Key
The Key value incurred by the port, range 1-65535. The Auto setting will set
the key as appropriate by the physical link speed, 10Mb = 1, 100Mb = 2,
1Gb = 3.
Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. Ports with
the same Key value can participate in the same aggregation group, while
ports with different keys cannot.
Role
The Role shows the LACP activity status. The Active will transmit LACP
packets each second, while Passive will wait for a LACP packet from a
partner (speak if spoken to).
Timeout
The Timeout controls the period between BPDU transmissions. Fast will
transmit LACP packets each second, while Slow will wait for 30 seconds
before sending a LACP packet.
Prio
The Prio controls the priority of the port, range 1-65535. If the LACP partner
wants to form a larger group than is supported by this device then this
parameter will control which ports will be active and which ports will be in a
backup role.
Lower number means greater priority.
