Usage Guidelines
You can configure each physical Data or Data-sharing interface in an EtherChannel to be:
• Active—Sends and receives LACP updates. An active EtherChannel can establish connectivity with
either an active or a passive EtherChannel. You should use the active mode unless you need to minimize
the amount of LACP traffic.
• On—The EtherChannel is always on, and LACP is not used. An “on” EtherChannel can only establish
a connection with another “on” EtherChannel.
Non-data interfaces only support active mode.
Example
The following example adds Port-Channel 1 with 4 member interfaces, sets the type to data, and sets
the EtherChannel to On mode.
