Description
Select an ID number for the group, between 1 and 32.
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.
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.
Choose the Master Port for the trunk group using the pull down menu.
