LACP Auto Detection and Automatic Link Aggregate Association Managing Automatic Remote Configuration Download
page 12-20 OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Switch Management Guide May 2014
LACP auto detection is enabled by default and operates only on the uplink ports on OmniSwitch during
the Automatic Remote Configuration stage.
Note. This feature is supported only for uplink ports so it is required that the connectivity to the remote
device is only through uplink ports.
1 When an OmniSwitch detects LACP PDUs from a remote peer connected through an uplink port, it
configures that port as a LACP port and starts LACP handshake with the peer device.
2 The newly formed link aggregation is made a member of VLAN 127 and VLAN 1.
3 Once the remote configuration download is complete on this LACP port, the switch configuration file
can automatically configure the required ports for the link aggregate.
4 After the process is completed, this automatic link aggregate and related associations are deleted.
Note. The LACP auto detection mode is not supported when the switch boots up in normal mode
(non-remote configuration load mode). The LACP configuration at the peer device must not be changed
once the automatic link aggregate is created using the parameters in the LACP PDU sent from the peer
device.
