Figure 24-4. Invoking the LACP Long Timeout
Monitor and Debugging LACP
The system log (syslog) records faulty LACP actions.
To debug LACP, use the following command:
Shared LAG State Tracking
Shared LAG State Tracking provides the flexibility to bring down a port channel (LAG) based on the
operational state of another LAG. At any time, only two LAGs can be a part of a group such that the fate
(status) of one LAG depends on the other LAG.
In Figure 24-5, line-rate traffic from R1 destined for R4 follows the lowest-cost route via R2, as shown.
Traffic is equally distributed between LAGs 1 and 2. If LAG 1 fails, all traffic from R1 to R4 flows across
LAG 2 only. This condition over-subscribes the link, and packets are dropped.
Note: View PDU exchanges and the timeout value using the command debug lacp. See Monitor and
Debugging LACP on page 546.
