You can have aggregation with
LACP
or without it (
Static
or
Mode On
in other vendors). With LACP you have certain benefits, including the interface logical MUX that contains bits to indicate when an interface is aggregated, whether it is in sync between the actor and partner, and whether the interface is ready to send traffic or not via the usage of the distribution and collector bits, further more you also have keepalives that are sent to a certain rate (slow or fast) in order to detect any member getting de-aggregated.
Using the static means a 'force' or 'manual' mechanism that will create and aggregate the interfaces/members according to the administrator specification.

Thank you for the quick response i appreciate it.
Is there any benefits of using LACP versus static AE?

Hi gxs,
Only if the peer is also using LACP. Otherwise a static AE (LAG) can be formed without LACP as well.
