LACP

LACP is a protocol to bundel several physical network cards together to one logical link. This is called MLT. It implements failover if one or more card or link fails and load balancing with different methods.

If you do not have a connection between a server without active lacp and the switch with active lacp, try

1. add native vlan to allowed vlan list
2. add “no lacp suspend-individual”
