Port Trunking

Port Status and Configuration

LACP Notes and Restrictions

802.1X (Port-Based Access Control) Configured on a Port. To main­

tain security, LACP is not allowed on ports configured for 802.1X authenticator operation. If you configure port security on a port on which LACP (active or passive) is configured, the switch removes the LACP configuration, displays a notice that LACP is disabled on the port(s), and enables 802.1X on that port.

HPswitch(config)# aaa port-access authenticator e b1

LACP has been disabled on 802.1X port(s).

The switch will not allow you to configure LACP on a port on which port access (802.1X) is enabled. For example:

HPswitch(config)# int b1 lacp passive

Error configuring port < port-number >: LACP and 802.1X cannot be run together.

To restore LACP to the port, you must first remove the port’s 802.1X configu­ ration and then re-enable LACP active or passive on the port.

Port Security Configured on a Port. To maintain security, LACP is not allowed on ports configured for port security. If you configure port security on a port on which LACP (active or passive) is configured, the switch removes the LACP configuration, displays a notice that LACP is disabled on the port(s), and enables port security on that port. For example:

HPswitch(config)# port-security a17 learn-mode static address-limit 2 LACP has been disabled on secured port(s).

The switch will not allow you to configure LACP on a port on which port security is enabled. For example:

HPswitch(config)# int a17 lacp passive

Error configuring port A17: LACP and port security cannot be run together.

To restore LACP to the port, you must remove port security and re-enable

LACP active or passive.

Changing Trunking Methods. To convert a trunk from static to dynamic, you must first eliminate the static trunk.
