Port Trunking
Trunk Group Operation Using LACP
Figure 11-11. Blocked Ports with LACP
■ If there are ports that you do not want on the default VLAN, ensure that
they cannot become dynamic LACP trunk members. Otherwise a traffic
loop can unexpectedly occur. For example:
Figure 11-12. A Dynamic LACP Trunk Forming in a VLAN Can Cause a Traffic Loop
Easy control methods include either disabling LACP on the selected ports or
configuring them to operate in static LACP trunks.

If the ports in VLAN 2 are configured to allow a dynamic trunk (and GVRP is disabled), adding a
second link in VLAN 2 automatically forms a dynamic LACP trunk and moves the trunk to VLAN-1
(the default VLAN), which creates a traffic loop in VLAN 1 between the two switches and
eliminates the link in VLAN 2 between the two switches.
