LACP Port Settings
The LACP Port Settings window is used in conjunction with the Link Aggregation window to create port trunking groups on
the Switch. Using the following window, the user may set which ports will be active and passive in processing and sending LACP
control frames.
Figure 7- 10. Port Trunking Configuration window
The user-changeable parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
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, one
end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above).
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow changes to be implemented. The LACP Port Table shows which
ports are active and/or passive.
