Displaying LACP information for a specified LAG name or LAG ID

TABLE 26

Output from the show lacp command

This Field...

Displays...

Port

Lists the port number of the LAG member. Displayed in slot/port format.

Role

Indicates if the LACP information displayed for a LAG port is for the actor or the
partner.

System Priority (Sys Pri)

Lists the system priority configured for this port. The device with the lower
system priority value takes the higher priority to be removed at the other end
of the link. For example, a device with a system priority value of 1 has a higher
priority to be removed than a device with a system priority value of 10. The
system priority and System MAC address together form the system identifier
of a LAG.

Port Priority (Port Pri)

Lists the priority value configured for this port. The port priority and the port
number together form the port identifier of a LAG. The greater the port priority
value, the greater the chances are for transmission. Data traffic flow is
distributed across multiple links on a LAG. The distribution of data traffic
between links on a LAG is based on the port priority value. To configure the
port priority value for a dynamic LAG or a keep-alive LAG, use the
lacp-port-priority command. The priority value range is from 0 through 65535.

Operational Key (Oper key)

Lists the operational key value of a port. All ports on the LAG have the same
key value. All ports with the same operational key value are aggregatable. The
operational key value is assigned to the Ethernet link by the actor link. The key
is dynamically generated based on the various port properties.

LACP_Activity (Act)

Indicates the control state of the link, which can be one of the following:

Yes - The link is active. The port can send and receive LACPDU messages.

No - The link is passive. The port does not initiate LACP messages, but
will respond to LACP messages received.

LACP_Time (Tio)

Indicates the timeout value of the port. The timeout control value specifies
the periodic transmission interval for LACP packets. The timeout control value
can be set for a short timeout (3 seconds) or a long timeout (90 seconds). The
LACP timeout control value is configurable using the lacp-timeout command. If
the LACPDU is not received within the timeout mode configured on the port,
the LACP will time out. If “S” is displayed, a short timeout value is used for the
link. If “L” is displayed, a long timeout value is used for the link.

Aggregation (Agg)

Indicates the link aggregation state of the port. The state can be one of the
following:
• Agg – Link aggregation is enabled on the port.
• No – Link aggregation is disabled on the port.

Synchronization (Syn)

Indicates whether the link is allocated to the correct Link Aggregation Group.
The link Aggregation Group is associated with a compatible aggregator to form
the link aggregation. The identity of the group is consistent with the System ID
and the operational key information that is transmitted. If “Syn” is displayed,
the system considers this link to be IN_SYNC, and the link is allocated to the
correct Link Aggregation Group. If “No” is displayed, the link is OUT_OF_SYNC,
and the link is not in sync with aggregation.

Collecting (Col)

The collection of incoming frames that are enabled or disabled on the link. If
“Col” is displayed, incoming frames is enabled on the link. If “No” is displayed,
incoming frames is disabled on the link.

Distributing (Dis)

The distribution of outgoing frames that are enabled or disabled on the link. If
“Dis”is displayed, the distribution of outgoing frames are enabled. If “No’ is
displayed, the distribution of outgoing frames are disabled.
