NOTE: The 30-second timeout is available for dynamic LAG interfaces only. You can enter the lacp long-timeout
command for static LAGs, but it has no effect.
To configure LACP long timeout, use the following command.
Set the LACP timeout value to 30 seconds.
CONFIG-INT-PO mode
lacp long-timeout
DellEMC(conf)# interface port-channel 32
DellEMC(conf-if-po-32)#no shutdown
DellEMC(conf-if-po-32)#switchport
DellEMC(conf-if-po-32)#lacp long-timeout
DellEMC(conf-if-po-32)#end

To view the PDU exchanges and the timeout value, use the debug lacp command. For more information, refer to Monitoring
and Debugging LACP.
Monitoring and Debugging LACP
The system log (syslog) records faulty LACP actions.
To debug LACP, use the following command.
Debug LACP, including configuration and events.
EXEC mode
[no] debug lacp [config | events | pdu [in | out | [interface [in | out]]]]
Shared LAG State Tracking
Shared LAG state tracking provides the flexibility to bring down a port channel (LAG) based on the operational state of another
LAG.
At any time, only two LAGs can be a part of a group such that the fate (status) of one LAG depends on the other LAG.
As shown in the following illustration, the line-rate traffic from R1 destined for R4 follows the lowest-cost route via R2. Traffic
is equally distributed between LAGs 1 and 2. If LAG 1 fails, all traffic from R1 to R4 flows across LAG 2 only. This condition
over-subscribes the link and packets are dropped.
