Member Link with Non-LAG Partner

When a member link has a non-LAG partner, there are two separate links in a 1:1 configuration. To successfully configure this, you must disable LACP.

When a failover occurs and LACP is active, the partner might receive a new LAG ID and the LACP PDUs receive a new MAC address; therefore, the member links are not aggregated or the bundle is disabled, terminating the sessions above it.

The partner that is connected to the redundant link must not be forwarding network traffic; that is, it is either blocked through a protocol such as RSTP, or MAC address learning has selected the active port. The redundant link must not transmit over the redundant link to that MAC. The behavior of the redundant link depends on the failure detection method that is controlled by the network protocol that is blocking the port.
