Chapter 6: VLACP configuration using
Configure Virtual LACP (VLACP) to implement link status control protocol at the port level. Note that
VLACP cannot interoperate with LACP.

Enabling VLACP globally

Enable VLACP globally to detect for end-to-end failure. VLACP uses the Hello mechanism of
LACP to periodically send Hello packets to ensure there is an end-to-end approach. When
Hello packets are not received, the VLACP transitions to a failure state and the port is
disabled.
Procedure steps
1. In the navigation tree, open the following folders: Configuration > VLAN.
2. Click MLT/LACP.
3. Click the VLACP tab.
4. In the VLACP tab, select the VlacpEnable check box to enable VLACP globally.
5. Click Apply.

Configuring VLACP on a port

Enable VLACP on a port. VLACP periodically checks the end-to-end health of a point-to-point
connection.
