LACP distribution for uplink ports

The distribution of LACP uplink ports is supported on HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy and HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy interconnects.

When the LACP distribute uplink ports option is selected, the active and standby uplink ports are distributed across the stacked interconnects within the logical interconnect. The distribution of active ports occurs when the number of uplink ports is more than 16 in an uplink set.

LACP distribute uplink ports is applicable for Ethernet networks. The LACP distribute uplink ports option is available on the Create Uplink Set or Edit Uplink Set screens for Logical Interconnects and Logical Interconnect Groups. This option is enabled by default for new uplink sets.

NOTE:

The port distribution depends on the number of ports added from each interconnect module.

Examples of port distribution are shown in the following table:
