How to enable LACP on two ports on a 2810-48G

[Lybbe]

Hi,

I have a new Procurve 2810-48G. I need to enable LACP on 2 ports on the switch. I have a 5-bay NAS that supports this.

I've checked everywhere in the web-interface, but can't seem to find it anywhere.

Can anyone point me in the right direction how to enable this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi


By default, all the ports will be LACP Passive,
i really advice you to read carefully the following: Page 235.

Good Luck !!!

Thanks for your answer. I checked the guide, but i'm not sure i understand how to enable LACP on these ports.

I have only one switch (2810-48G). To this i have connected my NAS to two ports.

How can i enable these two ports as LACP-active?

Let's say i use port 1 and 2. From the terminal, how would the syntax look like for enabling this?

Thanks in advance.

Do you really want to use dynamic LACP? It has a lot of disadvantages, such as you can not set any VLANs to the new trunk.

If you want to set up a static trunk (much better) with ports 1 and 2 on the 2810 from the terminal it would look something like:

trunk 1,2 trk1 lacp

(from memory, do not remember the exact command line parameters.)

# To set active lacp do this i config mode:
interface 1 lacp active
interface 2 lacp active
