In addition the fields appearing on the LAG Configuration Page, the LAG Configuration
Settings Page contains the following fields:
• Admin Status — Displays the LAG operational status. Changes to the LAG state
are active only after the device is reset. The possible field values are:
— Up — Indicates that the LAG is currently operating.
— Down — Indicates that the LAG is currently not operating.
• Current Status — Displays the current status of the LAG.
• Reactivate Suspended — Reactivates a port if the port has been disabled through the
locked port security option.
• Operational Status — Indicates the port operational status. Possible field values are:
— Suspended — The port is currently active, and is not receiving or transmitting
traffic.
— Active — The port is currently active and is receiving and transmitting traffic.
— Disable — The port is currently disabled, and is not receiving or transmitting
traffic.
• Admin Auto Negotiation — Enables or disables Auto Negotiation on the LAG.
Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a LAG to
advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode and flow control (the flow control default
is disabled) abilities to its partner.
• Admin Advertisement — Defines the auto-negotiation setting the port advertises.
The possible field values are:
— Max Capability — Indicates that all port speeds and Duplex mode settings are
accepted.
— 10 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 10 mbps speed port and full
duplex mode setting.
— 100 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 100 mbps speed port and full
duplex mode setting.
— 1000 Full — Indicates that the port advertises for a 1000 mbps speed port and
full duplex mode setting.
• Current Advertisement — The port advertises its speed to its neighbor port to start
the negotiation process. The possible field values are those specified in the Admin
advertisement field.
• Neighbor Advertisement — Indicates the neighboring port’s advertisement settings.
The field values are identical to the Admin Advertisement field values.
• Admin Speed — The configured rate for the port. The port type determines what
speed setting options are available. Admin speed can only be designated when the
Admin Auto Negotiation field is disabled.
• Current Speed — The actual synchronized port speed (bps).
• Admin Flow Control — Enables/disables flow control, or enables the auto
negotiation of flow control on the LAG. Flow Control mode is effective on the ports
operating in Full Duplex in the LAG.
