LACP Property
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is part of an IEEE specification (802.3ad) that allows several physical ports to be bundled together to form a single logical channel. Link Aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group, such that a MAC Client can treat the Link Aggregation Group as if it were a single link. Link aggregation can be used on 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps ethernet full duplex ports. Example: A network administrator could combine a group of four 100Mbps ports into a logical link that will function as a single 400Mbps port (The actual throughput however will be less than the sum total of the links).
LACP System Priority
Specifies the actor device's link aggregation priority relative to the devices at the other ends of the links on which link aggregation is enabled. A higher value indicates a lower priority.
Port Number
Displays the port number. Click on the index number will enter port LACP properties configuration screen.
Priority
Indicates actor port priority. The port priority determines the active and standby links. When a group of ports is negotiating with a group of ports on another device to establish a trunk group, the port with the highest priority becomes the default active port. The other ports (with lower priorities) become standby ports in the trunk group.
Admin Key
Indicates actor administration key for the port. The LACP administration key must be set to the same value for ports that belong to the same LAG.
LAG Group
Indicates the LAG group ID if the port is the member of this LAG group.
Status
Summarizes the current LACP status for this port.
LACP Port Priority
Specifies actor port priority. The port priority determines the active and standby links. When a group of ports is negotiating with a group of ports on another device to establish a LAG group, the port with the highest priority becomes the default active port. The other ports (with lower priorities) become standby ports in the LAG group. You can specify a priority from 0 to 65535.
