L2 Functions > Link Aggregation > LACP Port Settings 
The LACP Port Settings is used to create port trunking groups on the Switch. The user may set which ports 
will be active and passive in processing and sending LACP control frames.

From Port: 
The beginning of a consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port. 
To Port:
 The ending of a consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected port. 
Activity:
 There are two different roles of LACP ports: 
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 -
