D-Link DSS-200G MP/MPP series Switch User Manual Parameter From Port / To Port Group ID Mode Description Select the appropriate port range used for the configuration here. Enter the channel group number here. The system will automatically create the port-channel when a physical port first joins a channel group. An interface can only join one channelgroup. Select the mode option here. Options to choose from are On, Active, and Passive. If the mode On is specified, the channel group type is static. If the mode Active or Passive is specified, the channel group type is LACP. A channel group can only consist of either static members or LACP members. Once the type of channel group has been determined, other types of interfaces cannot join the channel group. 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. Passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send LACP control frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate adjustments and make changes dynamically, one end of the connection must have "active" LACP ports Click the Add button to add a new entry based on the information entered. Click the Delete Member Port button to remove the specific member port. Click the Delete Channel button to remove the specific entry. 69
