126 Section I: Basic Operations
Enabling or Disabling LACP
This procedure explains how to enable or disable LACP on the switch.
When you enable LACP, the switch begins to transmit LACPDU packets
from ports assigned to aggregators. If ports in an aggregator receive
LACPDU packets from a remote device, the switch creates aggregate
trunks. If no aggregators are defined, no LACPDU packets are
transmitted. When you disable LACP, any ports in existing aggregators
stop sending LACPDU packets and function as regular Fast Ethernet
ports.
Caution
Do not disable LACP if there are defined aggregators without first
disconnecting all cables connected to the aggregate trunk ports.
Otherwise, a network loop might occur, resulting in a broadcast
storm and poor network performance.
To enable or disable LACP, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 1 to select Port Configuration.
2. From the Port Configuration menu, type 4 to select Port Trunking and
LACP.
The Port Trunking and LACP menu is shown in Figure 35 on page 116.
3. Type 2 to select LACP Configuration.
The LACP (IEEE 8023ad) Configuration menu is shown in Figure 39.
