Figure 6- 10. Link Aggregation Settings window - Modify
The user-changeable parameters are as follows:
Parameter Description
Group ID
Select an ID number for the group, between 1 and 6.
State
Trunk groups can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled. This is used to turn a port trunking
group on or off. This is useful for diagnostics, to quickly isolate a bandwidth intensive network
device or to have an absolute backup aggregation group that is not under automatic control.
Master Port
Choose the Master Port for the trunk group using the pull-down menu.
Member Ports
Choose the members of a trunked group. Up to eight ports per group can be assigned to a
group.
Flooding Port
A trunking group must designate one port to allow transmission of broadcasts and unknown
unicasts.
Active Port
Shows the port that is currently forwarding packets.
Type
This pull-down menu allows you to select between Static and LACP (Link Aggregation Control
Protocol). LACP allows for the automatic detection of links in a Port Trunking Group.
After setting the previous parameters, click Apply to allow your changes to be implemented. Successfully created trunk groups
will be show in the Current Link Aggregation Group Entries table as seen in Figure 6-8.
