Function
An interface is in an active negotiating state in this mode.
LACP runs on any link configured in the active state and also
automatically initiates negotiation with other ports by
initiating LACP packets.
An interface is not in an active negotiating state in this
mode. LACP runs on any link configured in the passive state.
Ports in a passive state respond to negotiation requests from
other ports that are in active states. Ports in a passive state
respond to LACP packets
An interface cannot be part of a dynamic port channel in off
mode. LACP does not run on a port configured in off mode.
