Configuring Link Aggregation Control Protocol(LACP)

LACP is defined in IEEE 802.3ad standard and enables Cisco switches to manage Ethernet channels betweenswitches that conform to the standard. LACP facilitates the automatic creation of EtherChannels by exchangingLACP packets between Ethernet ports.

By using LACP, the switch learns the identity of partners capable of supporting LACP and the capabilitiesof each port. It then dynamically groups similarly configured port s into a single logical link (channel oraggregate port). Similarly configured ports are grouped based on key value. For example, LACP groups theports with the same speed, duplex mode, native VLAN, VLAN range, and trunking status and type.

Information About LACP

IEEE 802.3ad Link BundlingThe IEEE 802.3ad Link Bundling feature provides a method for aggregating multiple Ethernet links into asingle logical channel based on the IEEE 802.3ad standard. This feature helps improve the cost effectivenessof a device by increasing cumulative bandwidth without necessarily requiring hardware upgrades. In addition,IEEE 802.3ad link bundling provides a capability to dynamically provision, manage, and monitor variousaggregated links and enables interoperability between various Cisco devices and devices of third-party vendors.

LACP uses the following parameters:

• LACP port priority—You must configure an LACP port priority on each port configured to use LACP.The port priority can be configured automatically or through the CLI. LACP uses the port priority todecide which ports should be put in standby mode when there is a hardware limitation that prevents allcompatible ports from aggregating. LACP also uses the port priority with the port number to form theport identifier.
