I am running the latest version of 12.2(55)SE6 on the catalyst and I am looking for this command "lacp rate fast" but it is not there:
lab-c3750#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
lab-c3750(config)#interface g1/0/5
lab-c3750(config-if)#lacp ?
port-priority LACP priority on this interface
lab-c3750(config-if)#lacp
According to this link, it is supposed to work: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2169447
Am I missing something?

Hi,
This command is only supported on the 6500 series and not 3750 series.

Then what is the "default" lacp rate on the 3750 then?
Thanks,

I realize this thread is 3 years old, however I had this same issue, and hope this information will help somebody else.
The 3750 only supports slow LACP. The rate for this is every 30 seconds.
The 6500 series will support a "Fast" or 1 second LACP rate.

The lacp rate fast command is definitely supported in 15.2(4)E4, however during testing I still see it taking 10-15 seconds for the bundle to form. This is with a Palo Alto firewall
09-21-2017 03:06 PM
In fact, "lacp rate" defines only the rate at which control packets are sent by the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) - that's all. The time needed for bundle to reach IN_SYNC state has almost no dependecny on "lacp rate". LACP_Timeout for example will be a function of "lacp rate"- this makes a significant difference for ND-ISSU on Nexus5K/6K platforms...

Dear all,
I have a question about the lacp rate fast or normal.
According to the following manual, it says that "how to specify the fast (1-second) ingress rate on interface Ethernet 0/1"
So ingress means the counter part devices can send the LACP keepalive per second and
I mean if the local device sets the lacp rate fast but this device can not send it per second right?
here is the output so I would just like to modify my understanding.
Cat3850-12S(config)#int gi1/0/1
Cat3850-12S(config-if)#lacp rate ?
fast Request LACP packets to be ingressed at the 1 second rate for this
interface
normal Request LACP packets to be ingressed at the 30 second rate once the
link is established

Dear Masanobu,
I am not sure, that I understand your concern, however idea is the next:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
lacp_rate Option specifying the rate in which we'll ask our link partner to transmit LACPDU packets in 802.3ad mode. Possible values are: slow or 0 Request partner to transmit LACPDUs every 30 seconds fast or 1 Request partner to transmit LACPDUs every 1 second The default is slow.
That was an example for Linux Ethernet Bonding, however for IOS/NX-OS idea remains the same:
Few examples from the lab:

Hello Alexchev,
Thank you very much, your information is very helpful.
In my understanding, normally the lacp rate fast command expects to receive
the LACP PDU from partner.
However if I am finding out the related information through IEEE802.1AD Standards Comittee. I think the following is very closer but I can not find the exact LACP rate standard information.

If you really want to dig into details of IEEE, in that case look, please, into Std 802.3ad-2000, because 802.1ad describes Provider Bridges and QinQ...
