Usage Information

LACP Modes

Mode	Function
active	An interface is in an active negotiating state in this mode. LACP runs on any link configured in the active state and also automatically initiates negotiation with other ports by initiating LACP packets.
passive	An interface is not in an active negotiating state in this mode. LACP runs on any link configured in the passive state. Ports in a passive state respond to negotiation requests from other ports that are in active states. Ports in a passive state respond to LACP packets
off	An interface cannot be part of a dynamic port channel in off mode. LACP does not run on a port configured in off mode.
