{ Its aggregate interface is configured as an edge aggregate interface.
{ The port has not received Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Units (LACPDUs) from its
peer port.
Operational key
When aggregating ports, the system automatically assigns each port an operational key based on
port information, such as port rate and duplex mode. Any change to this information triggers a
recalculation of the operational key.
In an aggregation group, all Selected ports have the same operational key.
Configuration types
Port configurations include attribute configurations and protocol configurations. Attribute
configurations of a link aggregation member port affect its aggregation state.
• Attribute configurations—To become a Selected port, a member port must have the same
attribute configurations as the aggregate interface. Table 2 de
scribes the attribute
configurations.
Attribute configurations made on an aggregate interface are automatically synchronized to all
member ports. These configurations are retained on the member ports even after the aggregate
interface is deleted.
Any attribute configuration change on a member port might affect the aggregation states and
running services of the member ports. The system displays a warning message every time you
try to change an attribute configuration setting on a member port.

Feature Considerations
Port isolation
Indicates whether the port has joined an isolation group and which isolation
group the port belongs to.
QinQ
QinQ status (enabled/disabled), TPID for VLAN tags, and VLAN
transparent transmission. For information about QinQ, see "Configuring
QinQ."
VLAN mapping
VLAN mapping configured on the port. For more information about VLAN
mapping, see "Configuring VLAN mapping."
VLAN
VLAN attribute configurations include the following:
• Permitted VLAN IDs.
• PVID.
• Link type (trunk, hybrid, or access).
• PVLAN port type (promiscuous, trunk promiscuous, host, or trunk
secondary).
• IP subnet-based VLAN configuration.
• Protocol-based VLAN configuration.
• VLAN tagging mode.
For information about VLANs, see "Configuring VLANs."
• Protocol configurations—Protocol configurations of a member port do not affect the
aggregation state of the member port. MAC address learning and spanning tree settings are
examples of protocol configurations.
