Usage Guidelines
An LACP channel group can have up to 16 Ethernet ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active,
and up to eight ports can be in hot-standby mode. When there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel
group, the controller on the controlling end of the link uses port priorities to determine which ports are bundled
into the channel and which ports are put in hot-standby mode. Port priorities on the other controller (the
noncontrolling end of the link) are ignored.
The
lacp max-bundle
command must specify a number greater than the number specified by the
port-channel
min-links
command.
Use the
show etherchannel summary
privileged EXEC command to see which ports are in the hot-standby
mode (denoted with an H port-state flag in the output display).
Examples
This example shows how to specify a maximum of five active LACP ports in port channel 2:
Controller(config)#
interface port-channel 2
Controller(config-if)#
lacp max-bundle 5
