Parameter Description
Group ID
Select an ID number for the group, between 1 and 32.
State
Trunk groups can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled. This is used to turn a
port trunking group on or off. This is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a
bandwidth intensive network device or to have an absolute backup aggregation
group that is not under automatic control.
Master Port
Choose the Master Port for the trunk group using the pull-down menu.
Member Ports
Choose the members of a trunked group. Up to eight ports per group can be
assigned to a group.
Flooding Port
A trunking group must designate one port to allow transmission of broadcasts and
unknown unicasts.
Active Port
Shows the port that is currently forwarding packets.
Type
This pull-down menu allows you to select between Static and LACP (Link
Aggregation Control Protocol). LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a
Port Trunking Group.
