Chapter 5 Status ● Blocking: It indicates that the port is currently blocked. In this state, the port can receive and process BPDUs, but it cannot forward user frames. ● Listening: It indicates that the port is listening for a BPDU from neighboring bridge(s) in order to determine the new topology. In this state, the port still cannot forward user frames. ● Learning: It indicates that the port is in the learning state. In this state, the port still cannot forward user frames; however, the Switch can learn the MAC addresses of frames that the port receives, and add them to the MAC table. ● Forwarding: It indicates that the port is in the forwarding state. In this state, the port can forward the user frames and learn new MAC addresses. 5.4 LACP Status 5.4.1 LACP Aggregation Overview Figure 5-4 LACP Aggregation Overview Group: It displays the ID of each dynamic LAG. The Default group is used to display the ports in the negotiating phase (0 means that the corresponding port is in the negotaiting phase). Once a LAG is formed successfully, a new row is created to display the LAG's port members on the local Switch and partner switch. If a port on the local Switch is a member of the LAG, the partner port number will appear in the same column. LACP Settings: Click to go to the Advanced > LACP page. http://www.level1.com Page 21
