Parameters
•
port channel
—The number of the port channel that the port will join.
•
mode—Specifies the mode of the port channel. The possible values are:
-
active—Enables LACP unconditionally. It forces unconditionally the port
to join a channel as a result of a LACP operation.
-
on—Enables static only. It forces the port to join a channel without a
LACP operation. In this mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when
both connected port groups are in the on mode.
-
passive—Enables LACP only if a LACP device is detected. It forces the
port to join a channel as a result of a LACP operation. Active mode
places a port into a negotiating state in which the port initiates the
negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets. A channel is
formed with another port group in either the active or passive mode.
Default Configuration
The port is not assigned to a port channel.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet) mode
