I am attempting to get LACP working with a Cisco 2960 and an IBM I7 server.
The connection seems redundant. I can unplug GI0/8 and traffic still flows and clients are not disconnected from the IBM I7. I can do the same with GI0/9 once GI0/8 is plugged back in.
Two issues.
1. How can I change the LACP timer from slow to fast?
2. Why does my port Gi0/8 show as INDEP in the show lacp detail command?
