lacp port-priority

This command configures LACP port priority. Use the no form to restore the default setting.

Syntax

lacp {actor | partner} port-priority priority

no lacp {actor | partner} port-priority

actor - The local side an aggregate link.

partner - The remote side of an aggregate link.

priority - LACP port priority is used to select a backup link. (Range: 0-65535)

Default Setting

32768

Command Mode

Interface Configuration (Ethernet)

Command Usage

Setting a lower value indicates a higher effective priority.

If an active port link goes down, the backup port with the highest priority is selected to replace
the downed link. However, if two or more ports have the same LACP port priority, the port with
the lowest physical port number will be selected as the backup port.

If an LAG already exists with the maximum number of allowed port members, and LACP is
subsequently enabled on another port using a higher priority than an existing member, the
newly configured port will replace an existing port member that has a lower priority.

Once the remote side of a link has been established, LACP operational settings are already in
use on that side. Configuring LACP settings for the partner only applies to its administrative
state, not its operational state, and will only take effect the next time an aggregate link is
established with the partner.

Example

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#lacp actor port-priority 128
