‣ LAG Table<br />

Member Port:<br />

Select the port as the LAG member. Clearing all the ports of<br />

the LAG will delete this LAG.<br />

Tips:<br />

1. The LAG can be deleted by clearing its all member ports.<br />

2. A port can only be added to a LAG. If a port is the member of a LAG or is dynamically<br />

aggregated as the LACP member, the port number will be displayed in gray and can not be<br />

selected.<br />

5.2.3 LACP Config<br />

LACP (<strong>Link</strong> Aggregation Control Protocol) is defined in IEEE802.3ad and enables the dynamic link<br />

aggregation and disaggregation by exchanging LACP packets with its partner. The switch can<br />

dynamically group similarly configured ports into a single logical link, which will highly extend the<br />

bandwidth and flexibly balance the load.<br />

With the LACP feature enabled, the port will notify its partner of the aggregation ID (consist of<br />

System Priority, system MAC address and the Admin Key). A dynamic aggregation group will only<br />

be formed between ports having the same aggregation ID. Up to fourteen aggregation groups can<br />

be formed by the switch. If the amount of the configured aggregation groups exceeds the<br />

maximum number, the group with smaller System Priority takes the priority to be aggregated.<br />

Similarly, up to eight ports can be selected in an aggregation group. Therefore, the port also has<br />

the priority to be selected as the dynamic aggregation group member. The port with smaller Port<br />

Priority will be considered as the preferred one. If the two port priorities are equal; the port with<br />

smaller port number is preferred.<br />

On this page, you can configure the LACP feature of the switch.<br />
