LACP packets are exchanged between ports in these modes: .http://www.cisco.com/en/US/i/templates/blank.gifActive-Places a port into an active negotiating state, in which the port initiates negotiations with remote ports by sending LACP packets. .http://www.cisco.com/en/US/i/templates/blank.gifPassive-Places a port into a passive negotiating state, in which the port responds to LACP packets it receives but does not initiate LACP negotiation. In this mode, the port channel group attaches the interface to the bundle. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Taqdir Singh Sent: November-01-10 1:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] LACP Hi all: I was reading about LACP protocol: LACP uses the system priority with the router MAC address to form the system ID and uses it during negotiation with other systems. The LACP system ID is the combination of the LACP system priority value and the MAC address of the router. It says the system ID is used during negotiations but...what kind of negotiations, what's the aim from those negotiations?. --
