Link aggregation Control Protocol
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is for the aggregation of multiple physical links into a
single link. Link aggregation allows to increase the link bandwidth and robustness. LACP performs traffic
transmission via aggregated links according to the defined priorities.
To enable the interface operation via LACP, use 'channel-group {group} mode auto'
command in the configuration mode of the respective interface.
