Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

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.
