CLI Reference Guide

lacp group
lacp group <group_number> mode {active | passive}
Description
Enable Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and configure LACP on the interface.
Parameter Description
<group_number> Enter the link aggregation group (LAG) number.
Range: 0-7
mode {active | passive} Enter the keyword mode followed by either the keyword active or passive.
l Active mode—the interface is in active negotiating state. LACP runs on any link that
is configured to be in the active state. The port in an active mode also automatically
initiates negotiations with other ports by initiating LACP packets.
l Passive mode—the interface is not in an active negotiating state. LACP runs on any
link that is configured in a passive state. The port in a passive mode responds to
negotiations requests from other ports that are in an active state. Ports in passive
state respond to LACP packets.
Usage Guidelines
LACP is disabled by default; this command enables LACP. If the group number assigned contains static port
members, the command is rejected.
