lacp timeout

Sets the timeout value used by the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to exchange packets on an interface before invalidating a received data unit (DU).

Syntax

lacp timeout { long | short }
no lacp timeout

Command Default

Tkhe default value is the short timeout.

Parameters

long
Specifies that a long-timeout value of 30 seconds will be used. With this value, the port waits three times this long (90 seconds) before invalidating the information received earlier on this PDU.
short
Specifies that a short-timeout value of one second will be used. With this value, the port waits three times this long (three seconds) before invalidating the information received earlier on this PDU.

Modes

Interface subtype configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the timeout value based on how frequently you think the switch will receive LACP PDUs from the partner device.

Make sure that the LACP timeout is the same for all connected devices.

The no form of the command restores the default values.

Examples

The following example sets the LACP long-timeout value on an Ethernet interface.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/2
device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# lacp timeout long
