Configure the LACP Time-Out Value

The LACP time out value is a periodic interval. When the interval expires, an LACP PDU is sent out regularly. The default value for LACP time out is long. This list contains explanations of the possible values:

• long - The LACP PDU will be sent for every 30 seconds, and the LACP timeout value (when no packet is received from the peer) is 90 seconds.

• short - The LACP PDU will be sent every 1 second. The timeout value is 3 seconds.

1. Enter the configuration mode for the interface (0/1 in this example).

   SEFOS(config)# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# interface extreme-ethernet 0/1

2. Configure the LACP time out.

   SEFOS(config-if)# lacp timeout short

3. Review the etherchannel information.

   SEFOS# show etherchannel detail
