lacp-timeout

Configures the timeout mode for the port.
Syntax
lacp-timeout { long | short }
no lacp-timeout { long | short }
Command Default

Begins with the short timeout period. Moves to the long timeout period after the LAG is established.

Parameters
long
Specifies a long timeout period for the port which is 90 seconds.
short
Specifies a short timeout period for the port which is 3 seconds.
Modes

LAG configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

After you configure a port timeout mode, the port remains in that timeout mode whether it is up or down and whether or not it is part of a LAG. All the ports in a LAG must have the same timeout mode. This requirement is checked when the LAG is enabled on the ports.

With the long timeout configuration, an LACPDU is sent every 30 seconds. If no response comes from its partner after three LACPDUs are sent, a timeout event occurs, and the LACP state machine transitions to the appropriate state based on its current state.

In the short timeout configuration, an LACPDU is sent every second. If no response comes from its partner after three LACPDUs are sent, a timeout event occurs, and the LACP state machine transitions to the appropriate state based on its current state. If you do not include long or short, the device operates based on the IEEE specification standards.

Note: The configuration of lacp-timeout is applicable to dynamic or keep-alive LAGs only.

The no form of the command resets the timeout mode to short.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a port for a short LACP timeout.

device(config)# lag blue dynamic id 11
device(config-lag-blue)# lacp-timeout short
