4.2.5 Port Trunk
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for exchanging information between
Partner Systems on a link to allow their Link Aggregation Control instances to reach agreement on the identity of the
Link Aggregation Group to which the link belongs, move the link to that Link Aggregation Group, and enable its
transmission and reception functions in an orderly manner. Link aggregation lets you group up to eight consecutive ports
into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation
requires full-duplex mode, more detail information refers to IEEE 802.3ad.

priority and is selected as the active LACP.
Group ID There are seven trunk groups to provide configure.
Select button Press the button to Choose the "Group ID".
Lacp If enable, the group is LACP static trunk group. If disable, the group is local static trunk
group. All ports support LACP dynamic trunking group. If connecting to the device that
also supports LACP, the LACP dynamic trunking group will be created automatically.
If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports on State
