Link Aggregation Configuration
7.1.4.2 Port status of static aggregation group
A port in a static aggregation group is only in one state: on, which means the port in a static
aggregation group must transceive packets. There can be at most 8 ports in a static
aggregation group.
7.1.5 Dynamic LACP Aggregation Group
7.1.5.1 Introduction to Dynamic LACP Aggregation Group
A dynamic LACP aggregation group is also manually created. All its member ports are
manually added and can be manually removed. Each dynamic aggregation group must
contain at least one port. When a dynamic aggregation group contains only one port, you
cannot remove the whole aggregation group unless you remove the port.
LACP is enabled on the member ports of dynamic aggregation groups, and disabling
LACP on such a port will not take effect.
7.1.5.2 Mode of Dynamic Aggregation Group
The mode of dynamic aggregation group can be active or passive. It is manually set by
users. The dynamic aggregation group in active mode will actively send LACPDUs; group in
passive mode will only response LACPDUs passively. When interconnecting with another
device, static mode can only interconnect with static mode; active mode can interconnect with
both active and passive mode, but passive mode can only interconnect with active mode. The
default mode is ACTIVE.
7.1.5.3 Port status of Dynamic Aggregation Group
A port in a dynamic aggregation group can be in one of the three states: bundle (bndl),
standby, and no-bundle (no-bndl). In dynamic aggregation group, only bundled ports can
transceive LACP protocol packets; others cannot.
Note:
In an aggregation group, the bundled port with the minimum port number serves as
the master port of the group, and other bundled ports serve as member ports of the
group.
No-bundled ports are the ports which fail to form link aggregation with other ports in
the dynamic aggregation.
There is a limit on the number of bundled ports in an aggregation group. Therefore, if
the number of the member ports that can be set as bundled ports in an aggregation
group exceeds the maximum number supported by the device, the system will
negotiate with its peer end, to determine the states of the member ports according to
