4.3.2.4 LACP Configuration
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) - LACP LAG negotiate Aggregated Port links with other LACP ports located on a
different device. LACP allows switches connected to each other to discover automatically whether any ports are member of the
same LAG.
This page allows the user to inspect the current LACP port configurations, and possibly change them as well. The LACP
Configuration screen in Figure 4-3-2-5 appears.
Figure 4-3-2-5 : LACP Port Configuration Page Screenshot
The page includes the following fields:
Object Description
Port
The switch port number.
LACP Enabled
Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an
aggregation when 2 or more ports are connected to the same partner.
Timeout
The Timeout controls the period between BPDU transmissions. Fast will transmit
LACP packets each second, while Slow will wait for 30 seconds before sending a
LACP packet.
Priority
The Priority controls the priority of the port. If the LACP partner wants to form a
larger group than is supported by this device then this parameter will control
which ports will be active and which ports will be in a backup role. Lower number
means greater priority.
