LACP Configuration Commands If aggregated ports are configured with compatible LACP modes (Off, Active, Passive), LACP can automatically link them, as defined in IEEE 802.3, Section 43. The following commands configure LACP: Command Syntax [no] lacp system-priority priority-value Command Mode CONFIGURATION [no] port-channel-protocol lacp INTERFACE [no] port-channel number mode [active | passive | off] LACP [no] lacp port-priority priority-value LACP Purpose Configure the system priority. Range: 1- 65535 (the higher the number, the lower the priority) Default: 32768 Enable or disable LACP on any LAN port: • Default is "LACP disabled" • This command creates a new context. Configure LACP mode. • Default is "LACP active" • number cannot statically contain any links Configure port priority. • Ranges: 1 - 65535 (the higher the number, the lower the priority) • Default: 32768 LACP Configuration Tasks The tasks covered in this section are: • Create a LAG • Configure the LAG interfaces as dynamic • Set the LACP long timeout • Monitor and Debugging LACP • Configure Shared LAG State Tracking Create a LAG To create a dynamic port channel (LAG), define the LAG and then the LAG interfaces. Use the interface port-channel and switchport commands, as shown in the following example, which uses the example of LAG 32: FTOS(conf)#interface port-channel 32 FTOS(conf-if-po-32)#no shutdown FTOS(conf-if-po-32)#switchport Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) | 571
