The LACP menu is used to configure the Link Aggregation Control Protocol.
- Name
- This is the logical interface used to bundle the selected physical interfaces.
- Operating
- Using this parameter, you enable or disable interface bundling. With bundling enabled, the device groups the selected device interfaces together into one common logical bundled interface. In the disabled state the interfaces that are selected in the corresponding table still operate as individual interfaces.
- Priority
- Enter the LACP system priority. The default value is 65,535.
- Distribution-Policy
-
There are a number of options for distributing the network packets to the various bundled interfaces. The following characteristics are used for distribution:
- layer2
- MAC addresses
- layer2+3
- A combination of MAC addresses and IP addresses
- layer3+4
- IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports
- encap2+3
- Like layer2+3. However, in the case of encapsulated protocols, an attempt is made to obtain this information from the inner protocol
- encap3+4
- Like layer3+4. However, in the case of encapsulated protocols, an attempt is made to obtain this information from the inner protocol
- Ports
- Use this parameter to select the physical interfaces as a comma-separated list that the device bundles via LACP. Default: ETH1,ETH2
