Admin System ID (dot3adAggPortPartnerAdminSystemID)

A 6-octet read-write MAC Address value representing the administrative value of the aggregation port's protocol Partner's system ID. The assigned value is used, along with the value of aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemPriority, aAggPortPartnerAdminKey, aAggPortPartnerAdminPort, and aAggPortPartnerAdminPortPriority, in order to achieve manually configured aggregation.

Operational System ID (dot3adAggPortPartnerOperSystemID)

A 6-octet read-only MAC Address value representing the current value of the aggregation port's protocol Partner's system ID. A value of zero indicates that there is no known protocol Partner. The value of this attribute may contain the manually configured value carried in aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemID if there is no protocol Partner.

Admin Key (dot3adAggPortPartnerAdminKey)

Current administrative value of the key for the protocol Partner. This is a 16-bit read-write value. The assigned value is used, along with the value of aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemPriority, aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemID, aAggPortPartnerAdminPort, and aAggPortPartnerAdminPortPriority, in order to achieve manually configured aggregation.

Operational Key (dot3adAggPortPartnerOperKey)

Current operational value of the key for the protocol Partner. The value of this attribute may contain the manually configured value carried in aAggPortPartnerAdminKey if there is no protocol Partner. This is a 16-bit read-only value.

Admin Port (dot3adAggPortPartnerAdminPort)

Current administrative value of the port number for the protocol Partner. This is a 16-bit read-write value. The assigned value is used, along with the value of aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemPriority, aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemID, aAggPortPartnerAdminKey, and aAggPortPartnerAdminPortPriority, in order to achieve manually configured aggregation.

Operational Port (dot3adAggPortPartnerOperPort)

Operational port number assigned to this aggregation port by the aggregation port's protocol Partner. The value of this attribute may contain the manually configured value carried in aAggPortPartnerAdminPort if there is no protocol Partner. This 16-bit value is read-only.

Admin Port Priority (dot3adAggPortPartnerAdminPortPriority)

Current administrative value of the port priority for the protocol Partner. This is a 16-bit read-write value. The assigned value is used, along with the value of aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemPriority, aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemID, aAggPortPartnerAdminKey, and aAggPortPartnerAdminPort, in order to achieve manually configured aggregation.

Operational Port Priority (dot3adAggPortPartnerOperPortPriority)

Priority value assigned to this aggregation port by the Partner. The value of this attribute may contain the manually configured value carried in aAggPortPartnerAdminPortPriority if there is no protocol Partner. This 16-bit value is read-only.

Admin State (dot3adAggPortPartnerAdminState)

String of 8 bits, corresponding to the current administrative value of Actor_State for the protocol Partner. This attribute value is read-write. The assigned value is used in order to achieve manually configured aggregation.

Operational State (dot3adAggPortPartnerOperState)

String of 8 bits, corresponding to the current values of Actor_State in the most recently received LACPDU transmitted by the protocol Partner. In the absence of an active protocol Partner, this value may reflect the manually configured value aAggPortPartnerAdminState. This attribute value is read-only.

Admin System Priority (dot3adAggPortPartnerAdminSystemPriority)

A 2-octet read-write value used to define the administrative value of priority associated with the Partner's system ID. The assigned value is used, along with the value of aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemID, aAggPortPartnerAdminKey, aAggPortPartnerAdminPort, and aAggPortPartnerAdminPortPriority, in order to achieve manually configured aggregation.

Operational System Priority (dot3adAggPortPartnerOperSystemPriority)

A 2-octet read-only value indicating the operational value of priority associated with the Partner's system ID. The value of this attribute may contain the manually configured value carried in aAggPortPartnerAdminSystemPriority if there is no protocol Partner.
