4.7.5 Trunking
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.
4.7.5.1 Aggregator setting
1. System Priority: a value used to identify the active LACP. The switch with the lowest value has the
highest priority and is selected as the active LACP.
2. Group ID: There are seven trunk groups to provide configure. Choose the "Group ID" and click
Select
button.
3. 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.
4. Work ports: allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time. If LACP static trunk group,
the exceed ports are standby and able to aggregate if work ports fail. If it is local static trunk group,
the number must be as same as the group member ports.
5. Select the ports to join the trunk group. Allow max four ports can be aggregated at the same time.
Click
Add
button to add the port. To remove unwanted ports, select the port and click
Remove
button.
6. If LACP enable, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status in each ports on State Activity page.
7. Click
Apply
button.
8. Use
Delete
button to delete Trunk Group. Select the Group ID and click
Delete
button.
