Hi community,

Hi

Do you want to attach your access device to both nexus switches but it doesn't support LACP?

Why not doing vpc in static mode (channel-group mode on)?

Thanks
Francesco

Hi Francesco,

thank you for reply.

Yes, because there is specific Broadcasting devices and they not support LACP.

Why not doing vPC in static mode (channel-group mode on)?

as I understand lacp mode active is to be preferred as it allows to exchange lacp control frames on each member link and allows to prevent some issues that can arise from errors in cabling.
