Destination MAC Address:
The Destination MAC Address can be used to calculate the destination port for the frame. Check to enable the use of the Destination MAC Address, or uncheck to disable. By default, Destination MAC Address is disabled.
IP Address:
The IP address can be used to calculate the destination port for the frame.
Check to enable the use of the IP Address, or uncheck to disable. By default, IP Address is enabled.
TCP/UDP Port Number:
The TCP/UDP port number can be used to calculate the destination port for the frame. Check to enable the use of the TCP/UDP Port Number, or uncheck to disable. By default, TCP/UDP Port Number is enabled.
Aggregation Group Configuration Group ID:
Indicates the group ID for the settings contained in the same row. Group ID
"Normal" indicates there is no aggregation. Only one group ID is valid per port.
Port Members:
Each switch port is listed for each group ID. Select a radio button to include a port in an aggregation, or clear the radio button to remove the port from the aggregation. By default, no ports belong to any aggregation group. Only full duplex ports can join an aggregation and ports must be in the same speed in each group.

LACP Configuration
This page allows the user to inspect the current LACP port configurations, and possibly change them as well.
Web Interface
To configure the LACP Port Configuration in the web interface:
1. Click Port Management, Link Aggregation and LACP Configuration.
2. Evoke to enable or disable the LACP on the port of the switch.
3. Scroll the Key parameter with Auto or Specific. Default is Auto.
4. Scroll the Role with Active or Passive. Default is Active.
5. Click Apply to save the setting.
6. If you want to cancel the setting then you need to click the reset button. It will revert to previously saved values.
Parameter description:
Port:
The switch port number.
LACP Enabled:
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.
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.
