Some other definitions are worth noting are primary port. Primary port is the port
over which specific traffic like Multicast (IGMP), unknown Unicast and
broadcast traffic is transmitted. As shown by the add port command, the port with
the lowest priority value has the highest priority and is designated as the primary
port. If traffic analysis is required, it is recommended to mirror the primary port
(and physically disconnect the other ports if all traffic needs to be captured).
If multiple ports have the same priority, the first port physically connected
becomes the primary port. In case the ports are already connected, the port with
the lowest port count becomes the primary port i.e. if ports 4, 5, 6 are designated
as the LACP group, port 4 would become the primary port.
If the primary port fails, the next available secondary port is designated as the
primary port. So in the example above, if port 4 fails, port 5 will be designated as
the primary port.
