Table 12 LACP port status data (continued)
MeaningStatus name
Standby: The port is configured for dynamic LACP trunking to another device, but the maximum
number of ports for the dynamic trunk to that device has already been reached on either the switch
or the other device. This port will remain in reserve, or "standby" unless LACP detects that another,
active link in the trunk has become disabled, blocked, or down. In this case, LACP automatically
assigns a standby port, if available, to replace the failed port.
Yes: LACP is enabled on both ends of the link.LACP Partner
No: LACP is enabled on the switch, but either LACP is not enabled or the link has not been detected
on the opposite device.
Success: LACP is enabled on the port, detects and synchronizes with a device on the other end of
the link, and can move traffic across the link.
LACP Status
Failure: LACP is enabled on a port and detects a device on the other end of the link, but is not able
to synchronize with this device, and therefore is not able to send LACP packets across the link. This
can be caused, for example, by an intervening device on the link (such as a hub), a bad hardware
connection, or if the LACP operation on the opposite device does not comply with the IEEE 802.3ad
standard.
LACP notes and restrictions
802.1X (Port-based access control) configured on a port
To maintain security, LACP is not allowed on ports configured for 802.1X authenticator operation.
If you configure port security on a port on which LACP (active or passive) is configured, the switch
removes the LACP configuration, displays a notice that LACP is disabled on the port, and enables
802.1X on that port.
(HP_Switch_name#) aaa port-access authenticator b1
LACP has been disabled on 802.1x port(s.)
(HP_Switch_name#)
The switch does not allow you to configure LACP on a port on which port access (802.1X) is
enabled. For example:
(HP_Switch_name#) int b1 lacp passive
Error configuring port port-number : LACP and 802.1x cannot
be run together.
(HP_Switch_name#)
To restore LACP to the port, you must first remove the 802.1X configuration of the port and then
re-enable LACP active or passive on the port.
Port security
To maintain security, LACP is not allowed on ports configured for port security. If you configure
port security on a port on which LACP (active or passive) is configured, the switch removes the
LACP configuration, displays a notice that LACP is disabled on the port, and enables port security
on that port. For example:
(HP_Switch_name#) port-security a17 learn-mode static address-
limit 2 LACP has been disabled on secured port(s.)
(HP_Switch_name#)
The switch does not allow you to configure LACP on a port on which port security is enabled. For
example:
(HP_Switch_name#) int a17 lacp passive
Error configuring port A17: LACP and port security cannot be
