A network administrator needs to aggregate 4 ports into a single logical link which must negotiate layer 2 connectivity to ports on another switch. What must be configured when using active mode on both sides of the connection?
A network administrator needs to aggregate 4 ports into a single logical link which must negotiate layer 2 connectivity to ports on another switch. What must be configured when using active mode on both sides of the connection?
To aggregate multiple ports into a single logical link and ensure negotiation of layer 2 connectivity, the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) must be configured. LACP is an industry-standard protocol that facilitates the bundling of multiple physical ports into a single logical channel, providing redundancy and increased bandwidth. Using active mode on both sides ensures that the ports actively send LACP packets to negotiate the aggregation.

acronyms acronyms acronyms!
I was just thinking that, I almost selected LLDP by accident!
B is correct
Someone pls explain the differences between LACP vs Trunks
LACP - Configure multiple physical connections to operate as a single connection. Trunk - Configure a single connection to carry traffic from multiple VLANs
