Figure 6- 11. Link Aggregation Group Configuration window - Modify
The user-changeable parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Group ID
Select an ID number for the group, between 1 and 32.
Type
This pull-down menu allows the selection of Static and LACP (Link Aggregation
Control Protocol). LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a Port
Trunking Group.
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.
Unit
Choose the unit of the switch in the stack to be configured.
Member Ports
Choose the members of a trunked group. 2 to 8 ports can be assigned to an
individual group.
Active Port
Shows the port that is currently forwarding packets.
Flooding Port
A trunking group must designate one port to allow transmission of broadcasts and
unknown unicasts.
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow implementation of changes made. Successfully created trunk
groups will be show in the Current Link Aggregation Group Entries.
