D-Link DES-3528P [51/260] Lacp port setting

DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch

LACP Port Setting

The LACP Port Setting window is used in conjunction with the Link Aggregation window to create port trunking groups

on the Switch. Using the following window, the user may set which ports will be active and passive in processing and

sending LACP control frames.

Figure 6- 11. LACP Port Settings window

The user may set the following parameters:

Parameter Description

From/To

A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.

Mode

Active – Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control

frames. This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the

group may be changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to

change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at

least one of the participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both

devices must support LACP.

Passive – LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP

control frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and

make changes dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP

ports (see above).

After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow your changes to be implemented. The LACP Port Table shows

which ports are active and/or passive.
