Question: what is the difference between lacp and etherchannel?
Answer: EtherChannel and IEEE 802.3ad standards are very similar and accomplish the same goal. ... EtherChannel supports both LACP and Cisco's PAgP, whereas 802.3ad uses LACP. LACP allows for up to 8 active and 8 standby links, whereas PAgP only allows for 8 active links.
