D-Link Document - User Manual advantage of wide bandwidth, the I/O traffic remains operating until all physical links fail. If any link is restored, it will be added to the link group automatically. LACP The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is a part of IEEE specification 802.3ad. It allows the bundling of several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. A network switch negotiates an automatic bundle by sending LACP packets to the peer. Theoretically, the LACP port can be defined as active or passive. D-Link controllers implement it as active mode which means that LACP port sends LACP protocol packets automatically. Please note that you are using the same configurations between the D-Link controller and gigabit switch. The usage occasion of LACP: It's necessary to use LACP in a network environment of multiple switches. When adding new devices, LACP will separate the traffic to each path dynamically. Trunking Trunking is not a standard protocol. It defines the usage of multiple iSCSI data ports in parallel to increase the link speed beyond the limits of any single port. The usage occasion of Trunking: This is a simple SAN environment. There is only one switch to connect the server and storage, and there will be no extra server added in the future. There is a request for monitoring the traffic on the trunk in the switch. Copyright@2014 D-Link System, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 106
