To avoid creating a loop in the network, be sure you enable LACP before

connecting the ports, and also disconnect the ports before disabling

LACP.

If the target switch has also enabled LACP on the connected ports, the

trunk will be activated automatically.

A trunk formed with another switch using LACP will automatically be

assigned the next available trunk ID.

If more than eight ports attached to the same target switch have LACP

enabled, the additional ports will be placed in standby mode, and will

only be enabled if one of the active links fails.
