From the LAG ID field, select the LAG to configure. 2. In the LAG Name field, enter the name you want assigned to the LAG. You may enter any string of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.

The factory default is Enable. • STP Mode. Select the Spanning Tree Protocol Administrative Mode associated with the LAG. • Link Trap. Specify whether you want to have a trap sent when link status changes. The factory default is Disable, which will cause the trap to be sent. Chapter 3: Configuring Switching Information | 81
