So if you activate LACP on the firepower you should have active on the switch, if you do not activate LACP you should have mode on. I would recommend having LACP.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>HTH</P> <P>Bogdan</P> Tue, 27 Feb 2018 14:28:13 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/firepower-7125-interface-etherchannel/m-p/3338770#M1041337 Bogdan Nita 2018-02-27T14:28:13Z
