Command History
Usage Guidelines Each port configured to use LACP has an LACP port priority. You can configure a value between 1 and
65535. LACP uses the port priority in combination with the port number to form the port identifier. The
port priority is used with the port number to form the port identifier. The port priority is used to decide
which ports should be put into standby mode when there is a hardware limitation that prevents all
compatible ports from aggregating.
Note When setting the priority, note that a higher number means a lower priority.
Examples This example shows how to set the LACP port priority for the interface to 2000:
switch(config-if)# lacp port-priority 2000
