Explanation

When troubleshooting an LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) issue where some links are not forwarding traffic, the first step should be to ensure that LACP is enabled on both ends of the link. LACP must be configured consistently on both switches for the aggregation to function correctly. If LACP is enabled on one switch but not the other, the links will not form a valid aggregated group, leading to issues like traffic not being forwarded and performance degradation.
