LACP field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the LACP tab.

Name

Description

Index

The unique identifier the local system allocates to this aggregator. This attribute identifies an aggregator instance among the subordinate managed objects of the containing object. This value is read-only.

MACAddress

The six octet read-only value carrying the individual MAC address assigned to the aggregator.

ActorSystemPriority

The two octet read-write value indicating the priority value associated with the actor system ID.

The default value is 32768.

ActorSystemID

The six octet read-write MAC address value used as a unique identifier for the system that contains this aggregator.

From the perspective of the link aggregation mechanisms, only a single combination of actor system ID and system priority are considered. No distinction is made between the values of these parameters for an aggregator and the ports that are associated with it. The protocol is described in terms of the operation of aggregation within a single system. However, the managed objects provided for the both the aggregator and the port allow management of these parameters. The result permits a single piece of equipment to be configured by management to contain more than one system from the point of view of the operation of link aggregation, which is useful in the configuration of equipment that has limited aggregation capability.

AggregateOrIndividual

Indicates whether the aggregator represents an aggregate (true) or an individual link (false).

ActorAdminKey

Specifies the current administrative value of the key for the aggregator, which is a 16-bit read-write value. The administrative key value can differ from the operational key value.

This key needs to match the LAG key.

The default value is 0.

ActorOperKey

Displays the current read-only operational value of the key for the aggregator. The operational key value can differ from the administrative key value. The meaning of particular key values is of local significance.

PartnerSystemID

The six octet read-only MAC address value consisting of the unique identifier for the current protocol partner of this aggregator. A value of zero indicates that there is no known partner. If the aggregation is manually configured, the value is assigned by the local system.

PartnerSystemPriority

The two octet read-only value that indicates the priority value associated with the partner system ID. If the aggregation is manually configured, this system priority value is a value assigned by the local system.

PartnerOperKey

The current operational value of the key for the aggregator current protocol partner, which is a 16-bit read-only value. If the aggregation is manually configured, the value is assigned by the local system.
