D-Link DES-1210-10/ME [44/129] Configuration link aggregation lacp port settings

4 Configuration DES-1210 Metro Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual

Figure 4.58 – Configuration > Link Aggregation > Port Trunkings

Link Aggregation Algorithm: Specify the algorithm to be MAC Source, MAC Destination, MAC Source

Destination, IP Source, IP Destination or IP Source Destination, and then click Apply to implement changes

made.

Edit Trunking Information:

Specify the ID, Type and Master Port then select the ports to be grouped together, and then click Apply to

activate the selected Trunking groups. Two types of link aggregation can be selected:

Static - Static link aggregation.

LACP - LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is enabled on the device. LACP allows for the

automatic detection of links in a Port Trunking Group.

Disable - Remove all members in this trunk group.

NOTE: Each combined trunk port must be

connected to devices within the same VLAN

group.

Configuration > Link Aggregation > LACP Port Settings

The LACP Port Settings is used to create port trunking groups on the Switch. The user may set which ports

will be active and passive in processing and sending LACP control frames.

Figure 4.59 – Configuration > Link Aggregation > LACP Port Settings

From Port: The beginning of a consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.

To Port: The ending of a consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port.

Port Priority (0-65535): Displays the LACP priority value for the port. Default is 128.

Activity: There are two different roles of LACP ports:

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.
