Verifying That LACP Is Configured Correctly and Bundle Members Are Exchanging LACP Protocol Packets

Verify that LACP has been set up correctly and that the bundle members are transmitting LACP protocol packets.

  1. Verifying the LACP Setup
  2. Verifying That LACP Packets Are Being Exchanged

Verifying the LACP Setup

Purpose

Verify that the LACP has been set up correctly.

Action

To verify that LACP has been enabled as active on one end:

user@switch>show lacp interfaces xe-0/0/0
Aggregated interface: ae0
LACP state:       Role   Exp   Def  Dist  Col  Syn  Aggr  Timeout  Activity 
xe-0/1/0          Actor  No   Yes    No   No   No   Yes     Fast    Active
xe-0/1/0          PartnerNo   Yes    No   No   No   Yes     Fast    Passive
LACP protocol:    Receive State    Transmit State           Mux     State
xe-0/1/0          Defaulted        Fast periodic            Detached

Meaning

This example shows that LACP has been configured with one side as active and the other as passive. When LACP is enabled, one side must be set as active in order for the bundled link to be up.

Verifying That LACP Packets Are Being Exchanged

Purpose

Verify that LACP packets are being exchanged between interfaces.

Action

Use the show lacp statistics interfaces interface-name command to display LACP BPDU exchange information.

show lacp statistics interfaces ae0
Aggregated interface: ae0
    LACP Statistics:       LACP Rx     LACP Tx   Unknown Rx   Illegal Rx 
      xe-0/0/2                1352        2035            0            0
      xe-0/0/3                1352        2056            0            0
      

Meaning

The output here shows that the link is up and that PDUs are being exchanged.
