status, static multicast, traffic control; traffic segmentation and 802.1p default priority configurations
must be identical. Port locking, port mirroring and 802.1X must not be enabled on the trunk group.
Further, the aggregated links must all be of the same speed and should be configured as full duplex.
The Master Port of the group is to be configured by the user, and all configuration options, including
the VLAN configuration that can be applied to the Master Port, are applied to the entire link
aggregation group.
Load balancing is automatically applied to the ports in the aggregated group, and a link failure within
the group causes the network traffic to be directed to the remaining links in the group.
The Spanning Tree Protocol will treat a link aggregation group as a single link, on the switch level. On
the port level, the STP will use the port parameters of the Master Port in the calculation of port cost and
in determining the state of the link aggregation group. If two redundant link aggregation groups are
configured on the Switch, STP will block one entire group; in the same way STP will block a single port
that has a redundant link.

Parameter Description
Algorithm The algorithm that the Switch uses to balance the load across the ports that
make up the port trunk group is defined by this definition. Choose MAC
Source, MAC Destination, MAC Source Dest, IP Source, IP Destination or IP
Source Dest (See the Link Aggregation section of this manual).
Group ID Select an ID number for the group, between 1 and 8.
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.
Master Port Choose the Master Port for the trunk group using the pull-down menu.
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.
Active Ports Shows the ports that are currently forwarding packets.
(Member) Ports Choose the members of a trunked group. Up to eight ports per group can be
assigned to a group.
