Hello,

not sure what you mean with actor/partner, do you mean active/passive ?

Either way, check the link below:

Hi

wouldnt be too up on that depth of LACP but i see a few documents explaining it heres 1

https://networkdirection.net/articles/routingandswitching/etherchannelsandlags/etherchannelswithlacp/

The first party in an LACP conversation is called the Actor, and the second party is called the Partner. The actor and partner send LACP frames called LACPDU’s to each other to share state information. No ‘commands’ are sent between the end devices, just the information in the LACPDUs, which the receiving LACP engine uses to make its own decisions. LACPDUs are sent to multicast MAC address 01-80-C2-00-00-02.

Can you explain with below example how LACP will fill actor and partner values like operational key,port priority,port no and what are different actor state and partner state.

Who is aggregator and collector?

SW1 1/2------------ 1/2 SW2

        1/3-------------1/3

mac of SW1 is 0c and mac of sw2 is 0d and port priority of all interfaces on both switches are default 128.

Who is become actor and partner?

What SW1 will send in its LACPDU and what SW2 will send. Where we are configuring keys?

Hello

Aggregated LACP link:

Actor - Local lacp host
Partner - Remote lacp host
Active - Initiates lacp negotiation by sending lacp message
Passive - doest initiate lacp negotiation only responds to active lacp message

Hi,
the term actor is used to designate the parameters and flags pertaining to the sending node, while the term partner is used to designate the sending node's view of its peer's parameters and flags.

Can somebody tell if one switch is configured as LACP active mode and second switch is configured with static LAG mode on.

Will it work?

If not what is the explanation for that
