This sets whether a loadsharing group is configured as a pair (2 ports) or a quad (4 ports), constraining how many total ports can belong to that loadsharing configuration. An admin must pick a grouping size consistent with how many physical ports are actually being bundled together, since setting this to pair while trying to add a third or fourth slave port would be an inconsistent configuration. For example, a switch aggregating four uplink ports into one logical trunk would set this to quad rather than pair to properly reflect the 4-port bundle.
