LACP Interaction with Other Features
The DTP and the CDP send and receive packets over the physical ports in the EtherChannel. Trunk ports send
and receive LACP PDUs on the lowest numbered VLAN.
In Layer 2 EtherChannels, the first port in the channel that comes up provides its MAC address to the
EtherChannel. If this port is removed from the bundle, one of the remaining ports in the bundle provides its
MAC address to the EtherChannel.
LACP sends and receives LACP PDUs only from ports that are up and have LACP enabled for the active or
passive mode.
EtherChannel On Mode
EtherChannel
on
mode can be used to manually configure an EtherChannel. The
on
mode forces a port to
join an EtherChannel without negotiations. The
on
mode can be useful if the remote device does not support
PAgP or LACP. In the
on
mode, a usable EtherChannel exists only when the switches at both ends of the link
are configured in the
on
mode.
Ports that are configured in the
on
mode in the same channel group must have compatible port characteristics,
such as speed and duplex. Ports that are not compatible are suspended, even though they are configured in
the
on
mode.
You should use care when using the
on
mode. This is a manual configuration, and ports on both ends of
the EtherChannel must have the same configuration. If the group is misconfigured, packet loss or
spanning-tree loops can occur.
Caution
Load-Balancing and Forwarding Methods
EtherChannel balances the traffic load across the links in a channel by reducing part of the binary pattern
formed from the addresses in the frame to a numerical value that selects one of the links in the channel. You
can specify one of several different load-balancing modes, including load distribution based on MAC addresses,
IP addresses, source addresses, destination addresses, or both source and destination addresses. The selected
mode applies to all EtherChannels configured on the switch.
You configure the load-balancing and forwarding method by using the
port-channel load-balance
global
configuration command.

MAC Address Forwarding
With source-MAC address forwarding, when packets are forwarded to an EtherChannel, they are distributed
across the ports in the channel based on the source-MAC address of the incoming packet. Therefore, to provide
