aggregation when 2 or more ports are connected to the same partner.

Key The Key value incurred by the port, range 1-65535 . The Auto setting will set the
key as appropriate by the physical link speed, 10Mb = 1, 100Mb = 2, 1Gb = 3.
Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. Ports with the
same Key value can participate in the same aggregation group, while ports with
different keys cannot.
