Manage the frequency of control messages through the LACP timer
For Ethernet interconnects with an
Automatic
connection mode, LACP aggregates as many ports in the uplink port group as possible into a LAG. As part of the LACP negotiation to form a LAG, the interconnect sends a request for the frequency of control messages. You can set this frequency through the LACP timer. The frequency can be:
Short
—Every 1 second with a 3 second timeoutLong
—Every 30 seconds with a 90 second timeout
Use the
Long
setting to prevent a timeout and loss of communication during an external switch firmware upgrade.
Set the LACP timer when you create a logical interconnect group or change the timer when you add or edit an uplink set.
