– an incorrect LACP connection scheme for Magnum 6K family of switches. All LACP

trunk ports must be on the same module and cannot span different modules.


Another example

is highlighted below where some ports belong to VLAN 10 (shown in

common VLAN between them, LACP does not form a connection.

figure below. While the ports belong to the same VLANs, there is no common VLAN
