Rates
Protocol data units (PDUs) are exchanged between port channel (LAG) interfaces to maintain LACP sessions. PDUs are
transmitted at either a slow or fast transmission rate, depending on the LACP timeout value. The configured rate interval is used
to check whether the partner link is alive or not. The links are ungrouped if three consecutive LACP PDUs are missed. The
timeout value depends on the configured rate interval. If the rate interval is fast, then LACP PDUs are sent once every second.
If the rate interval is normal, then the LACP PDUs are sent once every 30 seconds.
By default, the LACP rate is normal (long timeout). If you configure a fast LACP rate, a short timeout sets.
Set the LACP rate in CONFIGURATION mode.
