4.5.5.1 LACP Port Status
LACP Port Status allows users to view a list of all LACP ports‟ information. Select LACP Port
Status from the LACP monitor menu and then the following screen page appears.
In this page, you can find the following information about LACP port status:
Port Number: The number of the port.
Partner ID: The current operational key for the LACP group.
In LACP mode, link aggregation control protocol data unit (LACPDU) is used for exchanging
information among LACP-enabled devices. After LACP is enabled on a port, the port sends
LACPDUs to notify the remote system of its system LACP priority, system MAC address, port
LACP priority, port number and operational key. Upon receipt of an LACPDU, the remote system
compares the received information with the information received on other ports to determine the
ports that can operate as selected ports. This allows the two systems to reach an agreement on
the states of the related ports when aggregating ports, link aggregation control automatically
assigns each port an operational key based on its rate, duplex mode and other basic
configurations. In an LACP aggregation group, all ports share the same operational key; in a
manual or static LACP aggregation, the selected ports share the same operational key.
Partner Port: The corresponding port numbers that connect to the partner switch in LACP mode.
