lag add
Ports are not added to the LAG by default.
- passive
- Enables passive mode for LACP on the member port. In passive mode, the port only responds to LACP packets and does not initiate them, allowing the peer or partner device to control LACP negotiations.
- long-timeout
- Sets a longer timeout for LACP on the member port, which increases the amount of time between LACP packets to detect link failures. The value of this timeout is 90 seconds. Hello packets are transmitted every 30 second. After 3 misses (3*30s = 90 seconds), the peer information is flushed and LACP state is declared as down.
Network mode
Each LAG requires at least one physical interface as a member link.
A physical port can be part of only one LAG at any point of time.
The interfaces should be in the unconfigured state. It is recommended that the interfaces which are going to be part of the LAG should not have any prior configurations.
All the member interfaces of a LAG should be of the same speed. If the ports within a LAG is of different speeds after auto-negotiation, there is no check for the operational speed mismatch.
Non-PCI passthrough interfaces should not be configured as LAG member ports and are not a supported configuration. LAG is not supported with VMware® ESXi™ NIC teaming.
Modifying the LACP mode and timeout for an existing LAG can trigger LACP negotiation, potentially leading to traffic disruption.
