Function name:
Port Setting/Status
Function description:
Port setting/status is used to configure the trunk property of each and every port in the switch system.
Parameter description:
Method:
This determines the method a port uses to aggregate with other ports.
None:
A port does not aggregate with other ports.
LACP:
A port uses LACP as its trunk method to aggregate with other ports also using LACP.
Static:
A port uses Static Trunk as its trunk method to aggregate with other ports also using Static
Trunk.
Group:
Ports choosing the same trunking method other than “None” must be assigned a unique Group
number (i.e. Group ID, valid value is from one to eight) so they can aggregate with each other.
Active LACP:
This field is only available when a port’s trunking method is LACP.
Active:
An Active LACP port begins to send LACPDU to its link partner as soon as the LACP
protocol entity takes control of this port.
Passive:
A Passive LACP port will not actively send LACPDU out until it receives an LACPDU from
its link partner.
Aggtr:
Aggtr is an abbreviation of “aggregator”. Every port is also an aggregator, and its own
aggregator ID is the same as its own port number. An aggregator is a representative of a
trunking group. Ports with same Group ID and using same trunking method will have the
opportunity to aggregate to a particular aggregator port. This aggregator port is usually the port
with the smallest port number within the trunking group.
