This mode is used for re-configuring the LinkAggregation Group of the
partner device automatically when the configuration of the
LinkAggregation Group of the local device is changed. Also, the driver
does not need to transmit the LACP for cases when the local device
functions as a router, or the partner device does not implement LACP.
off mode
(default)
The driver does not transmit the LACP, regardless of the LACP mode
of the partner device.
It is necessary to set the LACP mode of the partner device to off.
This mode has the effect of transmitting no LACP and is used when the
configurations of the LinkAggregation Groups of both devices will not
be changed.
- LACP Timer
"Table 4.4 LACP Timer" shows the LACP timer values supported.
Table 4.4 LACP Timer
short
(default)
The driver transmits the LACP every one second.
With this timer value the number of LACP transmissions is higher, but
there is the effect of detecting the configuration change of the
LinkAggregation Group of the partner device immediately.
If the LACP timer value of the partner device is "long", the driver
transmits the LACP every 30 seconds. When the LACP timer value of
the partner device is unidentified, this timer value is used.
long
The driver transmits the LACP every 30 seconds.
With this timer value LinkAggregation Group configuration changes of
the partner device are detected within 30 seconds, and the number of
LACP transmissions is relatively few.
If the LACP timer value of the partner device is "short", the driver
transmits the LACP every one second.
