Configuring The Lacp Fast Timer Rate; Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Nx-Os Layer 2 Switching Configuration Guide, Release 5.0(3)U1(1 - Cisco Nexus 3000 series Configuration Manual

Configuring the LACP Fast Timer Rate

This example shows how to forcefully add an interface to the channel group 5:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
switch(config-if)# channel-group 5 force
switch(config-if)#
Configuring the LACP Fast Timer Rate
You can change the LACP timer rate to modify the duration of the LACP timeout. Use the lacp rate command
to set the rate at which LACP control packets are sent to an LACP-supported interface. You can change the
timeout rate from the default rate (30 seconds) to the fast rate (1 second). This command is supported only
on LACP-enabled interfaces.
Before You Begin
Ensure that you have enabled the LACP feature.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. switch# configure terminal
2. switch(config)# interface type slot/port
3. switch(config-if)# lacp rate fast
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
Step 2 switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Step 3 switch(config-if)# lacp rate fast
This example shows how to configure the LACP fast rate on Ethernet interface 1/4:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# lacp rate fast
This example shows how to restore the LACP default rate (30 seconds) on Ethernet interface 1/4.
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# no lacp rate fast
