User-configured peer information per LACP

Brocade FastIron devices allow users to define their desired peers under the dynamic LAG configuration if they do not want the default first LACP trunk port to be defined as the LAG’s peer information record.

In certain cases, when ports of one dynamic LAG are connected to two different LACP peers (different system IDs, or same system ID with different key values), the device forms one LACP trunk per dynamic LAG and the other port is moved to the error disabled state. In a dynamic LAG, each member port stores a record of its peer’s LACP information (system priority, system ID, and system key) from the latest LACPDU it received. This information is known as the port’s peer information record. Because all member ports of an LACP trunk share the same local and peer information, the dynamic LAG's peer information record can be any one of its unique LACP trunk port’s peer information record (system priority, system ID, or system key). If a dynamic LAG has no associated LACP trunk, its peer information record is stored as NULL.
