Configuring LAG Settings
The LAG Settings Page displays a table of current settings for all LAGs. You can
configure the settings of selected LAGs, and reactivate suspended LAGs by
launching the Edit LAG Settings Page.
To configure the LAG:
STEP 1 Click Port Management > Link Aggregation > LAG Settings. The LAG Settings
Page
opens.
STEP 2 Select a LAG, and click Edit. The Edit LAG Settings Page opens.
STEP 3 Enter the values for the following fields:
• LAG—Select the LAG ID number.
• Description—Enter the LAG name or a comment.
• LAG Type—Displays the port type that comprises the LAG.
• Administrative Status—Set the selected LAG to operational (Up) or non-
operational (Down).
• Operational Status—Displays whether the LAG is currently operating.
• Reactivate Suspended LAG—Select to reactivate a port if the LAG has
been disabled through the locked port security option.
• Administrative Auto-Negotiation—Enables or disable auto-negotiation on
the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that
enables a LAG to advertise its transmission rate and flow control to its
partner (the Flow Control default is disabled). It is recommended to keep
auto-negotiation enabled on both sides of an aggregate link, or disabled on
both sides, while ensuring that link speeds are identical.
• Operational Auto-Negotiation—Displays the auto-negotiation setting.
• Administrative Speed—Select the LAG speed.
• Operational LAG Speed—Displays the current speed at which the LAG is
operating.
• Administrative Advertisement—Select the capabilities to be advertised by
the LAG. The options are:
- Max Capability—All LAG speeds and both duplex modes are available.
