| Port |
The switch port number. |
| LACP Enabled |
Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port. LACP will form an aggregation when two or more ports are connected to the same partner. |
| Key |
The Key value incurred by the port (range 1 – 65535). The Auto setting will set the key as appropriate by the physical link speed, 10Mb = 1, 100Mb = 2, 1Gb = 3. Using the Specific setting, a user-defined value can be entered. Ports with the same Key value can participate in the same aggregation group, while ports with different keys cannot. |
| Role |
The Role shows the LACP activity status. The Active will transmit LACP packets each second, while Passive will wait for a LACP packet from a partner (speak if spoken to). |
| Timeout |
The Timeout controls the period between BPDU transmissions. Fast will transmit LACP packets each second, while Slow will wait for 30 seconds before sending a LACP packet. |
| Prio |
The Prio controls the priority of the port. If the LACP partner wants to form a larger group than is supported by this device then this parameter will control which ports will be active and which ports will be in a backup role. Lower number means greater priority. |
