Usage Guidelines
An LACP channel group can have up to 16 Ethernet ports of the same type. Up to eight ports can be active,
and up to eight ports can be in hot-standby mode. When there are more than eight ports in an LACP channel
group, the controller on the controlling end of the link uses port priorities to determine which ports are bundled
into the channel and which ports are put in hot-standby mode. Port priorities on the other controller (the
noncontrolling end of the link) are ignored.
The port-channel min-links command must specify a number a less than the number specified by the lacp
max-bundle command.
Use the show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command to see which ports are in the hot-standby
mode (denoted with an H port-state flag in the output display).
Examples This example shows how to specify a minimum of three active LACP ports before port channel 2 becomes
active:
Controller(config)# interface port-channel 2
Controller(config-if)# port-channel min-links 3
