LACP Modes

Dell EMC Networking OS provides three modes for configuration of LACP — Off, Active, and Passive.

  • Off — In this state, an interface is not capable of being part of a dynamic LAG. LACP does not run on any port that is configured to be in this state.
  • Active — In this state, the interface is said to be in the “active negotiating state.” LACP runs on any link that is configured to be in this state. A port in Active state also automatically initiates negotiations with other ports by initiating LACP packets.
  • Passive — In this state, the interface is not in an active negotiating state, but LACP runs on the link. A port in Passive state also responds to negotiation requests (from ports in Active state). Ports in Passive state respond to LACP packets.
Dell EMC Networking OS supports LAGs in the following cases:
  • A port in Active state can set up a port channel (LAG) with another port in Active state.
  • A port in Active state can set up a LAG with another port in Passive state.

A port in Passive state cannot set up a LAG with another port in Passive state.
