8.2.2.2 Operation Mode
After configuring the member port, configure the LACP operation mode of the member
port. This defines the operation way for starting LACP operation. You can select the op-
eration mode between the active and passive mode.
The active mode allows the system to start LACP operation regardless of other con-
nected devices. On the other hand, the passive mode allows the system to start LACP
operation only when receiving LACP messages from other connected devices.
In case of an LACP connection between 2 switches, if the member ports of both switches
are configured as the passive mode, the link between the switches cannot be established.
To configure the operation mode of the member port, use the following command.
Command Mode Description
lacp port activity PORTS {active
| passive}
Bridge
Configures the operation mode of the member port.
(default: active)
To delete the configured operation mode of the member port, use the following command.
Command Mode Description
no lacp port activity PORTS Bridge
Deletes the configured operation mode of the member
port.
8.2.2.3 Priority of Switch
In case the member ports of connected switches are configured as Active mode (LACP
system enabled), it is required to configure which switch would be a standard for it. For
this case, the user could configure the priority on switch. The following is the command of
configuring the priority of the switch in LACP function.
Command Mode Description
lacp system priority <1-65535> Bridge
Sets the priority of the switch in LACP function, enter
the switch system priority. (default: 32768)
To delete the priority of configured switch, use the following command.
Command Mode Description
no lacp system priority Bridge Clears the priority of the configured switch.
8.2.2.4 Manual Aggregation
The port configured as member port is basically configured to aggregate to LACP. How-
ever, even though the configuration as member port is not released, they could operate
as independent port without being aggregated to LACP. These independent ports cannot
be configured as trunk port because they are independent from being aggregated to
LACP under the condition of being configured as member port.
