LACP functions
LACP offers basic LACP functions and extended LACP functions, as described in

LACP operating modes
LACP can operate in active or passive mode.
When LACP is operating in passive mode on a local member port and its peer port, both ports cannot
send LACPDUs. When LACP is operating in active mode on either end of a link, both ports can send
LACPDUs.
LACP priorities
LACP priorities include system LACP priority and port priority, as described in
the priority value, the higher the priority.

LACP timeout interval
The LACP timeout interval specifies how long a member port waits to receive LACPDUs from the
peer port. If a local member port has not received LACPDUs from the peer within the LACP timeout
interval, the member port considers the peer as failed.
The LACP timeout interval also determines the LACPDU sending rate of the peer. LACP timeout
intervals include the following types:
•
Short timeout interval—3 seconds. If you configure the short timeout interval, the peer sends
one LACPDU per second.
•
Long timeout interval—90 seconds. If you configure the long timeout interval, the peer sends
one LACPDU every 30 seconds.
Description
Implemented through the basic LACPDU fields, including the system LACP
priority, system MAC address, port priority, port number, and operational key.
Implemented by extending the LACPDU with new TLV fields. This is how the
LACP MAD mechanism of the IRF feature is implemented. If a device supports
LACP extensions, it can participate in LACP MAD as either an IRF member
device or an intermediate device.
For more information about IRF and the LACP MAD mechanism, see Virtual
Technologies Configuration Guide.
Description
Used by two peer devices (or systems) to determine which one is superior in link
aggregation.
In dynamic link aggregation, the system that has higher system LACP priority sets
the Selected state of member ports on its side. The system that has lower priority
sets port state accordingly.
Determines the likelihood of a member port to be a Selected port on a system. A port
with a higher port priority is more likely to become Selected.
