Due to higher bandwith or redundancy needs some scenarios require several switch ports to be combined. This can be implemented with the protocol LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol).
When using Using an LACP trunk between an LCOS LX access point and a GS-23xx series switch the leads to increased redundancy is increased.
This article describes how to configure an LACP trunk between a GS-23xx series switch and an LCOS LX access point.

In contrast to a Static Trunk the feature LACP supports a dynamic negotiation, thus enabling the Trunk to remain active when a line fails. LANCOM Systems therefore recommends to always use LACP when combining switch ports to a trunk. To ensure optimal redundancy, it is recommended to connect the access points via a power supply unit as well as via PoE (if PoE is spoorted supported by the switch). If the power supply unit fails, the GS-23xx takes over the power supply via PoE. In this process the access point reboots. |

As some LCOS LX access points support different port speeds (e.g. LX-6400 with ETH1: 2.5 GBit and ETH2: 1 GBit), the speed must be set to highest speed supported by both ports (for an LX-6400 this is 1 GBit). Also the speed must be set to 1 GBit in general, as this is the highest speed supported by GS-23xx series switches (except on SFP+ ports).
2.1.1) Connect to the access point via LANconfig and go to the menu Interfaces → Port config → Ethernet ports.
