Table 14-3 Link Aggregation: Configuration
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Link Aggregation Control Protocol
Active Select this checkbox to enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
System Priority LACP system priority is a number between 1 and 65,355. The switch with the lowest system
priority (and lowest port number if system priority is the same) becomes the LACP “server”. The
LACP “server” controls the operation of LACP setup. Enter a number to set the priority of an active
port using Link Aggregate Control Protocol (LACP). The smaller the number, the higher the priority
level.
Index The index identifies the trunk group, that is, one logical link containing multiple ports
Active Make sure to select this check box to activate the trunk group. You may temporarily deactivate a
trunk group without deleting it by clearing this check box.
Starting Port This is the beginning port in the trunk group’s port range and is not configurable (see Table 14-1).
Ending Port Select the end port in the port range from the drop-down list box if applicable (see Table 14-1).
LACP Select this check box to enable LACP for a trunk.
LACP Timeout Timeout is the time interval between the individual port exchanges of LACP packets in order to
check that the peer port in the trunk group is still up. If a port does not respond after three tries,
then it is deemed to be “down” and is removed from the trunk. Set a short timeout (one second) for
busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are removed from the trunk group as soon as
possible. Select either 1 second or 30 seconds.
