Command Usage
◆
To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before
connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling LACP.
◆ If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the trunk
will be activated automatically.
◆
A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be assigned
the next available trunk ID.
◆
If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have LACP enabled,
the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will only be enabled if
one of the active links fails.
◆
All ports on both ends of an LACP trunk must be configured for full duplex, and
auto-negotiation.
