• Administrative Status—Set the selected LAG to operational (Up) or non-
operational (Down). 
• Operational Status—Displays whether the LAG is currently operating.
• Reactivate Suspended LAG—Select to reactivate a port if the LAG has 
been disabled through the locked port security option or through the ACL 
configurations.
• Administrative Auto-Negotiation—Enables or disable auto-negotiation on 
the LAG. Auto-negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that 
enables a LAG to advertise its transmission rate and flow control to its 
partner (the Flow Control default is disabled). It is recommended to keep 
auto-negotiation enabled on both sides of an aggregate link, or disabled on 
both sides, while ensuring that link speeds are identical.
• Operational Auto-Negotiation—Displays the auto-negotiation setting.
• Administrative Speed—Select the LAG speed. 
• Operational LAG Speed—Displays the current speed at which the LAG is 
operating.
• Administrative Advertisement—Select the capabilities to be advertised by 
the LAG. The options are:
- Max Capability—All LAG speeds and both duplex modes are available. 
- 10 Full—The LAG advertises a 10 Mbps speed and the mode is full 
duplex.
- 100 Full—The LAG advertises a 100 Mbps speed and the mode is full 
duplex.
- 1000 Full—The LAG advertises a 1000 Mbps speed and the mode is full 
duplex.
• Operational Advertisement—Displays the Administrative Advertisement 
status. The LAG advertises its capabilities to its neighbor LAG to start the 
negotiation process. The possible values are those specified in the 
Administrative Advertisement field.
• Neighbor Advertisement—Displays the neighbor LAG (the LAG to which 
the selected interface is connected) that advertises its capabilities to the 
LAG to start the negotiation process. The possible values are the same as 
those listed in the Administrative Advertisement field.
