Mode Function
active
An interface is in an active negotiating state in this mode. LACP runs on any link
configured in the active state and also automatically initiates negotiation with other
ports by initiating LACP packets.
passive
An interface is not in an active negotiating state in this mode. LACP runs on any link
configured in the passive state. Ports in a passive state respond to negotiation requests
from other ports that are in active states. Ports in a passive state respond to LACP
packets.
off
An interface can not be part of a dynamic port channel in the off mode. LACP will not
run on a port configured in the off mode.
