DGS-3312SR Layer 3 Gigabit Switch config lacp_ports Purpose Syntax Description Parameters Used to configure settings for LACP compliant ports. config lacp_ports mode [active | passive] This command is used to configure ports that have been previously designated as LACP ports (see create link_aggregation). − Specifies a range of ports to be configured. The port list is specified by listing the lowest switch number and the beginning port number on that switch, separated by a colon. Then the highest switch number, and the highest port number of the range (also separated by a colon) are specified. The beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. For example, 1:3 specifies switch number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies switch number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the ports between switch 1, port 3 and switch 2, port 4 − in numerical order. mode - Select the mode to determine if LACP ports will process LACP control frames. active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP control frames. This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the aggregated link so the group may be changed dynamically as needs require. In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated port group, that is, to add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating devices must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support LACP. Restrictions passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot process LACP control frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes dynamically, at one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports (see above). Only administrator-level users can issue this command. Example usage: To configure LACP port mode settings: DGS-3312SR:4#config lacp_port 1:1-1:12 mode active Command: config lacp_port 1:1-1:12 mode active Success. DGS-3312SR:4# 115
