LABEL DESCRIPTION
Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Active Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
System Priority LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,355. The switch with the lowest system
priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same) becomes the LACP “server”.
The LACP “server” controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a number to set the priority
of an active port using Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP). The smaller the number,
the higher the priority level.
Index The index identifies the link aggregation group, that is, one logical link containing multiple
ports
