Table 14: LACP port status data
Status Meaning
name
Port Numb Shows the physical port number for each port configured for LACP operation (C1, C2, C3 ...).
Unlisted port numbers indicate that the missing ports that are assigned to a static trunk group are
not configured for any trunking.
LACP Active: The port automatically sends LACP protocol packets.
Enabled
Passive: The port does not automatically send LACP protocol packets and responds only if it
receives LACP protocol packets from the opposite device.A link having either two active LACP
ports or one active port and one passive port can perform dynamic LACP trunking. A link having
two passive LACP ports does not perform LACP trunking because both ports are waiting for an
LACP protocol packet from the opposite device.
In the default switch configuration, LACP is disabled for all ports.
Trunk TrkX: This port has been manually configured into a static LACP trunk.
Group
Trunk group same as port number: The port is configured for LACP, but is not a member of a
port trunk.
Port Status Up: The port has an active LACP link and is not blocked or in standby mode.
Down: The port is enabled, but an LACP link is not established. This can indicate, For example, a
port that is not connected to the network or a speed mismatch between a pair of linked ports.
Disabled: The port cannot carry traffic.
Blocked: LACP, Spanning Tree has blocked the port. (The port is not in LACP standby mode.)
This may be caused by a (brief) trunk negotiation or a configuration error, such as differing port
speeds on the same link or trying to connect the switch to more trunks than it can support. (See
Trunk configuration protocols.)
Some older devices are limited to four ports in a trunk. When eight LACP-enabled ports are
connected to one of these older devices, four ports connect, but the other four ports are blocked.
Standby: The port is configured for dynamic LACP trunking to another device, but the maximum
number of ports for the dynamic trunk to that device has already been reached on either the switch
or the other device. This port will remain in reserve, or "standby" unless LACP detects that another,
active link in the trunk has become disabled, blocked, or down. In this case, LACP automatically
assigns a standby port, if available, to replace the failed port.
LACP Yes: LACP is enabled on both ends of the link.
Partner
No: LACP is enabled on the switch, but either LACP is not enabled or the link has not been
detected on the opposite device.
LACP Success: LACP is enabled on the port, detects and synchronizes with a device on the other end of
Status the link, and can move traffic across the link.
Failure: LACP is enabled on a port and detects a device on the other end of the link, but is not
able to synchronize with this device, and therefore is not able to send LACP packets across the
link. This can be caused, For example, by an intervening device on the link (such as a hub), a bad
hardware connection, or if the LACP operation on the opposite device does not comply with the
IEEE 802.3ad standard.
