The user may set the following parameters:
Parameter Description
Unit
Choose the number representing the Switch in the stack for which you
would like to change the LACP Port mode.
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, at one end of the connection
must have “active” LACP ports (see above).
