Ports using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (according to IEEE 802.3ad specification)
as their trunking method can choose their unique LACP GroupID to form a logic "trunked
port". The benefit of using LACP is that a port makes an agreement with its peer port
before it becomes a ready member of a "trunk group" (also called aggregator). LACP is
safer than the other trunking method - static trunk.
Function name:
Aggregation – LACP – General Setup
Function description:
The function allows the user to inspect the current LACP port configurations, and possibly
change them as well An LACP trunk group with more than one ready member-port is a
"real trunked" group. An LACP trunk group with only one or less than one ready
member-port is not a "real trunked" group.
Parameters description:

The switch port number.
Controls whether LACP is enabled on this switch port.
LACP will form an aggregation when 2 or more ports are
connected to the same partner. LACP can form max 12
LLAGs per switch and 2 GLAGs per stack.
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.
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).
