lacp mode

Syntax

lacp mode {active | passive}
no lacp mode {active | passive}

Description

Sets an LACP mode to active or passive.

The no form of this command sets the LACP mode to off, returning the LAG to a static mode aggregation.

Command context

config-lag-if

Parameters

active

Specifies that the local switch will transmit LACP Data Units (LACPDUs) to attempt to negotiate with the remote device.

passive

Specifies that the local switch will listen for LACPDUs from the remote device for LACP negotiation.

NOTE:

A momentary traffic drop occurs because LACP partners reconverge when changing the mode from active to passive or passive to active.
