To configure a LACP group, you first must select the aggregation algorithm. Select from the following
algorithm options:
•
MAC Address:
Member ports in a link aggregation group share traffic load according to Source
and Destination MAC addresses.
•
IP Address:
Member ports in a link aggregation group share traffic load according to Source and
Destination IP addresses.
Once you have selected the algorithm you want to use, click
Apply
.
Leave the following drop down menu as
New
and enter an
Aggregation group ID
. Select
LACP
for the
Aggregation Type and then select the ports you wish to add to this aggregation group. Click
Apply
to
finalize the settings and create the aggregation group.
The LACP Protocol page allows you to modify the system priority or the change the LACP timeout
setting. To change the
System Priority
, you can enter the value you want to use and click
Apply
.
You can modify the
LACP timeout
or
Port Priority
settings. A
Long
timeout indicates that the LACP PDU
will be sent every 30 seconds, and the LACP timeout value (when no packet is received from the peer) is
90 seconds. A
Short
timeout indicates that the LACP PDU will send out every 1 second, and the LACP
timeout value is 3 seconds.
The LACP
port priority
is used to determine which ports should be put in standby mode when there is a
hardware limitation that prevents all compatible ports from aggregating.
