Information LACP Modes
Mode Function
active An interface is in an active negotiating state in this mode.
LACP runs on any link configured in the active state and also
automatically initiates negotiation with other ports by
initiating LACP packets.
passive An interface is not in an active negotiating state in this
mode. LACP runs on any link configured in the passive state.
Ports in a passive state respond to negotiation requests from
other ports that are in active states. Ports in a passive state
respond to LACP packets
off An interface cannot be part of a dynamic port channel in off
mode. LACP does not run on a port configured in off mode.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
Link layer discovery protocol (LLDP) advertises connectivity and management from the local station to
the adjacent stations on an IEEE 802 LAN.
LLDP facilitates multi-vendor interoperability by using standard management tools to discover and make
available a physical topology for network management. The Dell Networking operating software
implementation of LLDP is based on IEEE standard 801.1ab.
