Configure an Interface Policy for LLDP and LACP for East-West Traffic

Table of Contents

Create policy that enables LLDP and LACP on the ACI interfaces that connect to your firewall.

LLDP is necessary for forwarding to work correctly in the ACI environment; ACI does not deploy a subnet router interface on a leaf switch unless it detects an endpoint on the switch that requires one. LLDP helps determine if a subnet router interface is required.

LACP provides greater resiliency and recovery speed on a link failure.
