Select whether to configure a single LAG, a group of LAGs, or all LAGs:
To configure a single LAG, select the check box next to the LAG that you want to
configure.
The information for the selected LAG displays in the menu in the table heading.
To configure a group of LAGs, select the check boxes for the individual LAGs that you

To configure all LAGs, select the check box at the left in the table heading.
3.
Configure the settings as described in the following table.
Setting
Description
Lag Name
Keep the default name (LAG1 through LAG8) or enter a custom name for the LAG.
You can enter any string of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.
Description
The optional description for the LAG. The length of the description can be up to 64
characters.
Lag ID
This is a nonconfigurable field that displays the LAG identifier (1 through 8).
Link Trap

LAG changes:
Disable
. The smart switch does not send a trap when the link status changes.
This is the default setting.
Enable
. The smart switch sends a trap when the link status changes.
Admin Mode
Specify the administrative state of the LAG:
Enable
. The LAG is enabled and can connect to another device. This is the
default setting.
Disable
. The LAG is disabled and cannot connect to another device. LACP data
units (LACPDUs) are dropped. However, ports that are members of the LAG are
not released and remain members of the LAG.
STP Mode
Specify the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) administrative mode that is associated with
the LAG:
Disable
