Configuring Vlacp On A Port - Avaya 8600 Configuration Manual

VLACP configuration using the CLI

Configuring VLACP on a port

Configure VLACP on a port to ensure there is end-to-end reachability. 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, VLACP transitions to a failure state and the
port is disabled.
Important:
Changes made at the global level overrides and resets all port level settings.
