⚔️ PAgP vs LACP

One of them is the Cisco proprietary PAgP (Port Aggregation Protocol) and the other is LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). IEEE 802.3ad standard can be used only with LACP.

In this blog we will discuss 3 types of EtherChannel modes, namely PAGP Mode, LACP Modes & On Mode with configuration examples. And we will learn how they differ from each other.

Dive into the differences between LACP and PAgP protocols to enhance your network's efficiency. Discover which link aggregation protocol sui...

PAgP, a Cisco proprietary protocol, is designed to work exclusively with Cisco devices. While both protocols serve similar functions, LACP's vendor-neutral support and cross-stack capabilities make it a more versatile choice in mixed network environme

這與現存的 Cisco EtherChannel 解決方案非常相似。 主要的差異在於，思科的實作方式使用了一項專有通訊協定，叫作連接埠彙總通訊協定 (PAgP)。 IEEE 後來在 802.3ad 中，為連結彙總定義了新的控制通訊協定，稱為連結彙總控制通訊協定 (LACP)。

While LACP and PAgP both enable link aggregation to improve throughput and redundancy, they differ significantly in terms of standardization, compatibility, configuration flexibility, and real-world application scenarios.

In this article we will describe how to configure both LACP and PAgP EtherChannels on Cisco switches.
