Configuring Link Aggregation Control Protocol

(LACP)
LACP is defined in IEEE 802.3ad standard and enables Cisco switches to manage Ethernet channels between
switches that conform to the standard. LACP facilitates the automatic creation of EtherChannels by exchanging
LACP packets between Ethernet ports.
By using LACP, the switch learns the identity of partners capable of supporting LACP and the capabilities
of each port. It then dynamically groups similarly configured port s into a single logical link (channel or
aggregate port). Similarly configured ports are grouped based on key value. For example, LACP groups the
ports with the same speed, duplex mode, native VLAN, VLAN range, and trunking status and type.

Information About LACP

IEEE 802.3ad Link Bundling

The IEEE 802.3ad Link Bundling feature provides a method for aggregating multiple Ethernet links into a
single logical channel based on the IEEE 802.3ad standard. This feature helps improve the cost effectiveness
of a device by increasing cumulative bandwidth without necessarily requiring hardware upgrades. In addition,
IEEE 802.3ad link bundling provides a capability to dynamically provision, manage, and monitor various
aggregated links and enables interoperability between various Cisco devices and devices of third-party vendors.
LACP supports the automatic creation of EtherChannels by exchanging LACP packets between LAN ports.
LACP packets are exchanged only between ports in passive and active modes. The protocol “learns” the
capabilities of LAN port groups dynamically and informs the other LAN ports. After LACP identifies correctly
matched Ethernet links, it facilitates grouping the links into an EtherChannel. Then the EtherChannel is added
to the spanning tree as a single bridge port.
Both the passive and active modes allow LACP to negotiate between LAN ports to determine if they can form
an EtherChannel, based on criteria such as port speed and trunking state. (Layer 2 EtherChannels also use

VLAN numbers.) LAN ports can form an EtherChannel when they are in compatible LACP modes, as in the
following examples:
• A LAN port in active mode can form an EtherChannel with another LAN port that is in active mode.
• A LAN port in active mode can form an EtherChannel with another LAN port that is in passive mode.
• A LAN port in passive mode cannot form an EtherChannel with another LAN port that is also in passive
mode because neither port will initiate negotiation.

LACP uses the following parameters:

• LACP system priority—You must configure an LACP system priority on each device running LACP.
The system priority can be configured automatically or through the command-line interface (CLI). LACP
uses the system priority with the device MAC address to form the system ID and also during negotiation
with other systems.
• LACP port priority—You must configure an LACP port priority on each port configured to use LACP.
The port priority can be configured automatically or through the CLI. LACP uses the port priority to
decide which ports should be put in standby mode when there is a hardware limitation that prevents all
compatible ports from aggregating. LACP also uses the port priority with the port number to form the
port identifier.
• LACP administrative key—LACP automatically configures an administrative key value on each port
configured to use LACP. The administrative key defines the ability of a port to aggregate with other
ports. A port’s ability to aggregate with other ports is determined by the following:
• Port physical characteristics such as data rate, duplex capability, and point-to-point or shared
medium
• Configuration restrictions that you establish

LACP, on ports configured to use it, tries to configure the maximum number of compatible ports in an
EtherChannel, up to the maximum allowed by the hardware. To use the hot standby feature in the event a
channel port fails, both ends of the LACP bundle must support the lacp max-bundle command.
As a control protocol, LACP uses the Slow Protocol multicast address of 01-80-C2-00-00-02 to transmit
LACP protocol data units (PDUs). Operations, administration, and maintenance (OAM) packets also use the
Slow Protocol link type. Subsequently, a subtype field is defined per the IEEE 802.3ad standard (Annex 43B,
section 4) differentiating LACP PDUs from OAM PDUs.
