The switch module offers link aggregation on four external ports for up to two static
trunk groups or two LACP 802.3ad link aggregation groups. The trunked ports can
be non-continuous (that is, have non-sequential port numbers). All of the ports in
the group must be members of the same VLAN. In addition, the trunked ports must
all have the same speed and be configured as full duplex.
To create or modify a trunk group, check the ports that will comprise the port trunk,
and change the Method field to Enabled. Click Apply to activate your settings.
The user-changeable parameters on this window are as follows:
Group ID
The ID number of the trunk group
Port
Checks the number of ports that will be members of the trunk group
Method
Enables or disables the trunk group
Setup IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation
Use the IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation window to set up dynamic port trunking.
The user-changeable parameters on this window are as follows:
LACP This parameter enables Link Aggregation to be Enabled or Disabled.
Disabling LACP when it is not in use can eliminate some traffic on the
network. Enabling Link Aggregation creates an active LACP switch module.
System Priority
An admin ID can be assigned to the switch module to differentiate other
LACP switches running on the network.
This window enables you to set up dynamic port trunking on individual ports.
