To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before
◆
connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling
LACP.
If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the
◆
trunk will be activated automatically.
A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be
◆
assigned the next available trunk ID.
If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have LACP
◆
enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will
only be enabled if one of the active links fails.
