| Description | A 6-octet read-write MAC address value used as a unique
identifier for the System that contains this Aggregator.
NOTE¡ªFrom the perspective of the Link Aggregation mechanisms described in Clause 43,
only a single combination of Actor¡¯s System ID and System Priority are considered, and no
distinction is made between the values of these parameters for an Aggregator and the port(s) that
are associated with it; i.e., the protocol is described in terms of the operation of aggregation within
a single System. However, the managed objects provided for the Aggregator and the port both
allow management of these parameters. The result of this is to permit a single piece of equipment
to be configured by management to contain more than one System from the point of view of the
operation of Link Aggregation. This may be of particular use in the configuration of equipment
that has limited aggregation capability (see 43.6). |
