Configure LACP-timeout on Port Channel

About this task

Follow this procedure to configure a LACP timeout when you create or update a port channel.

If you do not provide a lacp-timeout value, the default value of the port channel lacp-timeout will be long.

Note

When you configure an ethernet port as a port channel member with the lacp-timeout value, set the negotiation to active or passive.

1. To configure lacp-timeout when you create a port channel, run the following command:
   

   efa tenant po create --name <po-name> --tenant <tenant-name> --description <podescription> --speed <100Mbps|1Gbps|10Gbps|25Gbps|40Gbps|100Gbps> --negotiation <active|passive|static> --port <list-of-po-members> --min-link-count <min-link-count> --number <po-number> --lacp-timeout <short|long>

2. To configure lacp-timeout when you update a port channel, run the following command:
   

   efa tenant po update --name <po-name> --tenant <tenant-name> --operation <port-add|port-delete|lacp-timeout|description|min-linkcount> --port <list-of-po-members> --lacp-timeout string <short|long> --minlink-count <min-link-count> --description <po-description>

Example

efa tenant po create --name ten1po1 --tenant ten1 --port 10.20.246.5[0/1],10.20.246.6[0/1] --speed 10Gbps --negotiation active --lacp-timeout long

PortChannel created successfully.

The following is an example configuration of LACP timeout on SLX device:

After create ten1po1 SLX# sh run int po interface Port-channel 1 description EFA Port-channel ten1po1 no shutdown ! SLX# sh run int eth 0/1 interface Ethernet 0/1 description Port-channel ten1po1 Member interface channel-group 1 mode active type standard lacp timeout long no shutdown !

After update lacp-timeout to short SLX# sh run int po interface Port-channel 1 description EFA Port-channel ten1po1 no shutdown ! SLX# sh run int eth 0/1 interface Ethernet 0/1 description Port-channel ten1po1 Member interface channel-group 1 mode active type standard lacp timeout short no shutdown !
