Provision LACP

When connecting the GigE SM to the provider network interface element (normally a switch
or a router), multiple configuration options can be used. The current BSM application
connects to the external switch with a single Switch Module port (NET 1) from each Switch
Module, using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to convey Active/Standby status of
each GigE SM port.
NOTE
The maximum data rate for the network interface is still 1 Gbps. The use of
LACP is independent of using link aggregation to obtain greater than 1 Gbps
network connection. This LACP use is often called hot‐standby LACP.
Table 3‐5 displays the three LACP modes.
