Information
LACP Modes
Mode Function
active An interface is in an active negotiating state in this mode. LACP runs on any link
configured in the active state and also automatically initiates negotiation with other
ports by initiating LACP packets.
passive An interface is not in an active negotiating state in this mode. LACP runs on any
link configured in the passive state. Ports in a passive state respond to negotiation
requests from other ports that are in active states. Ports in a passive state respond
to LACP packets
off An interface cannot be part of a dynamic port channel in off mode. LACP does not
run on a port configured in off mode.
