GE-DS-242-PoE Managed Ethernet Switch User Manual 
This section provides Port Trunk-Aggregator settings for each port from the Managed 
Switch, the screen in Figure 4-40 appears. 
Figure 4-40: Port Trunk-Aggregator setting interface (two ports are added to the left field with 
LACP enabled) 
 
This page includes the following fields: 
 
OBJECT 
DESCRIPTION 
System Priority 
A value which is used to identify the active LACP. The Managed Switch 
with the lowest value has the highest priority and is selected as the 
active LACP peer of the trunk group. 
Group ID 
There are 13 trunk groups to be selected. Assign the "Group ID" to the 
trunk group. 
LACP 
•  Enabled, the trunk group is using LACP. A port which joins an LACP 
trunk group has to make an agreement with its member ports first.  
•  Disabled, the trunk group is a static trunk group. The advantage of 
having the LACP disabled is that a port joins the trunk group without 
any handshaking with its member ports; but member ports won't 
know that they should be aggregated together to form a logic trunk 
group. 
Work ports 
This column field allows the user to type in the total number of active 
port up to four. With LACP static trunk group, e.g. you assign four ports 
to be the members of a trunk group whose work ports column field is 
set as two; the exceed ports are standby/redundant ports and can be 
aggregated if working ports fail. If it is a static trunk group (non-LACP), 
the number of work ports must equal the total number of group 
member ports.
