Configuring the LACP interfaces

In LANconfig, you configure LACP interfaces under Interfaces > LAN in the section Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

  1. Click the button LACP interfaces to access the list of available bundles.
  2. Choose a bundle.
  3. Enter the MAC address of the device into the input field MAC address.
    Note: The MAC address is used to identify the LACP partner within the LAG. If this is left empty or set to 0, the LAN MAC address of the device is set automatically. The MAC address does not necessarily have to belong to an interface of the bundle. In case of a reset of the configuration, the system-wide MAC address is entered here as the default.
  4. Select the first interface from the selection menu Interface A.
  5. Select the second interface from the selection menu Interface B.
  6. Activate the bundle by checking the checkbox Entry active.
    Note: The remaining steps are optional.

    The default settings are suitable for most common applications.

    Further customizations to the configuration should only be performed by an experienced network technician.

  7. Further configuration options are available on the Advanced tab.
  8. In the System priority input field, enter a multiple of 4,096. The default value is 32,768.
  9. Enter a value for the Key.
    Note: The key is a number from 1 to 54 and is used to identify the bundle.
  10. Select an entry from the drop-down menu Frame distribution policy. The default setting for most scenarios is Flow hash.
  11. In the Port priority A input field, enter a multiple of 4,096. The default value is 32,768.
  12. In the Port priority B input field, enter a multiple of 4,096. The default value is 32,768.
