Vlans And Lags; Lag Thresholds - Dell Networking 7048 Reference Manual

an additional parameter static which makes this LAG not require a partner
system running Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to be able to
aggregate it's member ports.
A static LAG does not transmit or process received LACPDUs, that is, the
member ports do not transmit LACPDUs and all the LACPDUs it may
receive are dropped. A dropped counter is maintained to count the number of
such PDUs.
Configured members are added to the LAG (active participation)
immediately if the LAG is configured to be static. There is no wait time
before we add the port to the LAG.
A LAG can be either static or dynamic, but not both. It cannot have some
member ports participate in the protocol while other member ports do not
participate. Additionally, it is not possible to change a LAG from static to
dynamic via the CLI. You must remove the member ports from the static
LAG and then add them to the dynamic LAG.

VLANs and LAGs

When members are added to a LAG, they are removed from all existing
physical link VLAN membership and gain the VLAN membership of the
LAG. When members are removed from a LAG, the members rejoin the
VLANs of which they were previously members per the configuration file.
The LAG interface can be a member of a VLAN complying with IEEE
802.1Q.

LAG Thresholds

In many implementations, a LAG is declared as up if any one of its member
ports is active. This enhancement provides configurability for the minimum
number of member links to be active to declare a LAG up. Network
administrators can also utilize this feature to automatically declare a LAG
down when only some of the links have failed.
