LACP Standby
2.5.1 Configuring LACP Standby — Dell N-Series
There is no specific configuration required for Dell N-Series switches. For hot-standby LACP links to work,
one switch in the LAG needs to support the max-bundle interface command. The Dell switches must be
configured to participate in the LAG and LACP must be enabled. To ensure LACP is enabled on each
participating Ethernet port the command show lacp can be used. The command below shows port te1/0/2
as being configured as the hot-standby for port channel 5 on the Dell N3024-1 switch in Figure 8. LACP
Activity under the Actor and Partner sections will show ACTIVE when the port is in hot-standby.
