change the channel mode for slots 1 and 2 by using the following command:
set channelprotocol lacp module_number
Verify the changes by using the following command:
show channelprotocol.
CatOSSwitch (enable) set channelprotocol lacp 1
Mod 1 is set to LACP protocol.
CatOSSwitch (enable) set channelprotocol lacp 2
Mod 2 is set to LACP protocol.
