Group ID: There are four trunk groups to be selected. Choose the "Group ID" and
click Select button.
LACP: When enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP
trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first. When disabled,
the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of having the LACP
disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without any handshaking with its
member ports. But member ports won’t know that they should be aggregated
together to form a logic trunk group.
Work ports: This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active
port up to four. With LACP trunk group, you create a trunk group by connecting
two or more switches (e.g. you assign four ports to be the members of the trunk
group whose work ports column field is set as two). The exceed ports are standby
(the Aggregator Information tab will show standby status on the exceed ports)
and can be aggregated if work ports fail. If it is a static trunk group, the number of
work ports must equal the total number of group member ports.
Select the ports to join the trunk group. The system allows four ports maximum to
be aggregated in a trunk group. Click Add button to add the port which is
focused to the left field. To remove unwanted ports, select the port and click
Remove button.
When LACP enabled, you can configure LACP Active/Passive status for each port
on State Activity page.
Click Apply button.
Use Delete button to delete Trunk Group. Select the Group ID and click Delete
button.
