Link Aggregation Control Protocol Timeout

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows the exchange of information with regard to the link aggregation between two members of aggregation. The LACP Time Out value is measured in a periodic interval. Check first whether the port in the trunk group is up. When the interval expires, it will be removed from the trunk. Set a Short Timeout (one second) for busy trunked links to ensure that disabled ports are removed from the trunk group as soon as possible. The default value for LACP time out is: Long Timeout.

Timeout

Select the administrative LACP timeout.

Long - The LACP PDU will be sent for every 30 seconds, and the LACP timeout value is 90 seconds.

Short - The LACP PDU will be sent every second. The timeout value is 3 seconds.
