To Setup LACP or TrunkAggregation on Interface,
which mode uses LACP or other Active/Active Trunk specification?

Active/standby (Mode:1) =
Based on MAC address (Mode:2) =
Based on MAC Address =
Round Robin among interfaces (Mode:0) =
Layer 4 load balancing (Mode:2) =

Is the Mode referring to Layer ISO/OSI stack?
If so, the Mode2 require to configure the corrisponding port on hw switch as LAG or LACP, but wich one corrispond to static LAG and to LACP?
(i'm wondering if the 'layer 4 load balancing (Mode:2)' can corrispond to LACP/802.3ad specs)

But also: What is the 'Based on MAC Address' (NOT Mode2) ?

Enter your mobile phone number and company name for better service. Go

mode0 offer Active/Active Trunk based on cisco etherchannel specification (only round robin the connection)
mode2 offer Active/Active Trunk based on cisco etherchannel specification (source and destination MAC address HASH)
"Based on MAC Address ="  should be a wrong traslation, in previous version it was "Based on IP address (Mode:2) ="  offer Active/Active Trunk based on cisco etherchannel specification (source and destination IP address HASH)
those mode require stackable and manageble switches

Link aggregation is an approach to combine several individual (Ethernet) links into a single logical link. Two terms often appear along with it, that is, LAG and LACP.
