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.
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-0/1/0Aggregated 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 Partner No 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 interfaces aex statistics command to display LACP BPDU exchange information.

Meaning
The output here shows that the link is down and that no PDUs are being exchanged (when there is no other traffic flowing on the link).
