Link Aggregation Control Protocol configuration
The following table describes the LACP Configuration commands.
Table 115 LACP Configuration commands
Command Description
lacp system-priority
{<1-65535>}
Defines the priority value (1 through 65535) for the switch. Lower numbers provide
higher priority. The default value is 32768.
Command mode: Global configuration
lacp timeout
{short|long}
Defines the timeout period before invalidating LACP data from a remote partner.
Choose short (3 seconds) or long (90 seconds). The default value is long.
NOTE: HP recommends that you use a timeout value of long, to reduce LACPDU
processing. If your switch’s CPU utilization rate remains at 100% for periods of 90
seconds or more, consider using static trunks instead of LACP.
Command mode: Global configuration
show lacp
Display current LACP configuration.
Command mode: All
LACP Port configuration
The following table describes the LACP Port Configuration commands.
Table 116 LACP Port Configuration commands
Command Description
lacp mode
{off|active|passive}
Set the LACP mode for this port, as follows:
• off—Turn LACP off for this port. You can use this port to manually
configure a static trunk. The default value is off.
• active—Turn LACP on and set this port to active. Active ports initiate
LACPDUs.
• passive—Turn LACP on and set this port to passive. Passive ports do not
initiate LACPDUs, but respond to LACPDUs from active ports.
Command mode: Global configuration
lacp priority {<1-65535>}
Sets the priority value for the selected port. Lower numbers provide higher
priority. Default is 128.
Command mode: Global configuration
lacp key {<1-65535>}
Set the admin key for this port. Only ports with the same admin key and oper
key (operational state generated internally) can form a LACP trunk group.
Command mode: Global configuration
show interface port
{<port number>} lacp
Displays the current LACP configuration for this port.
Command mode: All
