Figure 3-5.2: LACP Port Configuration
Parameter descriptions
:
Port
: The switch port number.
LACP Enabled
: Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an 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.
Role
: Shows the LACP activity status. The Active will transmit LACP packets each second, while Passive will wait
for a LACP packet from a partner (‘speak if spoken to’).
Timeout
: Controls the period between BPDU transmissions. Fast will transmit LACP packets each second, while
Slow will wait for 30 seconds before sending a LACP packet.
Prio
: Controls the priority of the port. If the LACP partner wants to form a larger group than is supported by this
device, then this parameter will control which ports will be active and which ports will be in a backup role.
A lower Prio number means higher priority.
