Cat4000 Link Aggregation LACP Question

[MIAOYING TAO]

Gents

Our customer need to setup a few link aggregations on a Cat4000 switch for increasing their blade servers' throughput and the IOS which currently running is cat4000-is-mz.121-20.E.bin. But I don't see the switch's IOS supports LACP. Since there is no way to enter "channel-protocol / channel-group # mode active / passive" to the switch.

I wonder if anyone know the right IOS ver which can support LACP on that switch or if there is a way to work around without network outage.

Appreciate for your thoughts!

Hi Tao,

Please goes through Cisco Feature Navigator to locate the IOS which supports Link Aggregation (Looks like it will not support):
