LACP Configuration
The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) provides a standardized means for grouping
up to four consecutive ports into a single dedicated connection. This feature can expand
bandwidth to a device on the network. LACP operation requires full-duplex mode.
NOTE: Before configuring LACP set a trunk group(s) from the Trunk Configuration menu.
Having selected LACP Configuration from the Protocol Related Configuration screen the
following menu is displayed:

Working Ports
This menu allows the control of how many active LACP ports will participate in the trunk. If an
active port fails then a standby port will join the LACP trunk.
E.g. If 4 ports have been configured to be in an LACP trunk and work ports is 3. Then 3 ports
will be active and 1 port will be in standby.
Note: It is not possible to create standby trunk ports if Static Trunks have been configured.
