Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (CCNP SWITCH, legacy) — Question 164

Which two statements about the LACP port priority of a device are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. To manually configure a link within an EtherChannel to come up first, set its lacp port-priority value lower than the default.
• B. To manually configure a link within an EtherChannel to come up first, set its lacp port-priority value higher than the default.
• C. The system uses the port priority of the local and remote devices to determine which links in an EtherChannel group are active.
• D. The system uses the port priority of the local and remote devices to determine which links in an EtherChannel group are hot-standby.
• E. It determines which links in an EtherChannel group are active.
• F. LACP port-priority is used in the hashing algorithm to load-balance links within an EtherChannel. AC

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C. A is correct because a lower lacp port-priority value allows a link to be prioritized for activation in an EtherChannel. C is also correct as it states that both local and remote port priorities are evaluated to determine active links. Options B and D are incorrect because they misrepresent how port priority affects link activation and hot-standby status, while E and F do not fully encompass the role of port priority in determining link activity.
