optimization to the external LACP node or NIC teaming by syncing the MAC addresses learned over
member ports in the same LAG to all member ports in the LAG.
Standard LACP Feature
To create LAGs with the active links and synchronize LAG port forwarding status over the active links,
LACP allows two nodes to exchange handshake information for each link in the LACP-enabled links. The
dynamic handshake mechanism of LACP prevents unidirectional link failure or port parameter
mismatches from being used for active traffic and allows one node to notify an implementation limitation
(such as the maximum number of ports in a LAG) to the other nodes. Dynamic control of ports into a LAG
group from LACP also eliminates the possibility of a loop due to misconfiguration of the static LAG.
