Setting the aggregation state of each member port
Selecting a reference port
The local system (the actor) negotiates with the remote system (the partner) to select a reference port
as follows:
1) Compare the system ID (comprising the system LACP priority and the system MAC address) of
the actor with that of the partner. The system with the lower LACP priority value wins out. If they
are the same, compare the system MAC addresses. The system with the lower MAC address
wins out.
2) Compare the port IDs of the ports on the system with the smaller system ID. A port ID comprises a
port LACP priority and a port number. First compare the port LACP priorities. The port with the
lower LACP priority value wins out. If two ports have the same LACP priority, compare their port
numbers. The port with the smaller port number wins out. Thus, the port with the lowest port ID is
selected as the reference port.
Setting the aggregation state of each member port
After the reference port is selected, the system with the lower system ID sets the state of each member
port in the dynamic aggregation group on its side as shown in
Figure 11-3 .
