Aggregation Mode

On: The setting to support manual link aggregation. The Ethernet link is aggregated manually with the LinkAgg screen. LACP messages are not sent from this port, and LACP messages received on this port are ignored. This setting is only recommended if the far-end device is not capable of LACP.

Off: The setting that turns all link aggregation functionality off. The Ethernet port cannot be aggregated either manually or dynamically. LACP messages are not sent from this port, and LACP messages received on this port are ignored.

Passive: The setting that sets a link to receive LACP messages, and responds with LACP when receiving a far-end LACP initiation.

Active: The setting that supports LACP. Enables the Ethernet link to send and receive LACP messages and automatically link aggregates when the remote system responds with the appropriate LACP messages.

Note the following compatibility matrix between near and far end LACP settings:

Active (device one) / active (device two): Both devices are sending and receiving LACP. Recommended setting for dynamic aggregation.

Active (device one) / passive (device two): One side of the connection between devices attempts to negotiate a aggregated group. Functional, but not recommended.

Active (device one) / passive (device two): Only allows manual aggregation of links. Recommended if the far-end device is not capable of LACP.
