Port Trunking

 

Port Status and Configuration

 

Default Port Operation

 

In the default configuration, all ports are configured for passive LACP. How-

 

ever, if LACP is not configured, the port will not try to detect a trunk config­

 

uration and will operate as a standard, untrunked port.

 

 

N o t e

Passive and active LACP port will pause and listen for LACP packets once a

 

link is established. Once this pause is complete then the port, if a trunk is not

 

detected, will be placed in forwarding mode. Some end-node applications have

 

been found to be sensitive to this pause and may require LACP to be disabled

 

on the port.

 

The following table describes the elements of per-port LACP operation. To

 

 

display this data for a particular switch, execute the following command in

 

the CLI:

 

HPswitch> show lacp
