Explanation
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) is an open standard protocol widely used and supported by Nexus switches and servers. Active LACP mode means the switch actively sends LACP packets to initiate the negotiation and Since the switches must always initiate the negotiation, the switch ports must be in active mode. Servers typically use passive LACP mode, responding to negotiation initiated by the switch.
