Have a simple question?

bond-lacp-rate 0 is slow
bond-lacp-rate 1 is fast

What is bond-lacp-rate 4 ?
?

The reason why I ask is that I have seen it used in sample configurations on the internet.
I have searched all over the net for answears but found none. Only that rate 0 slow and rate 1 fast exists.
Have some people misspelled their configurations or is my question valid?

Hi,

I had seen that statement in few examples on internet too but the truth is that the official Kernel module documentation refers to only the two modes, fast and slow. So you are right to stick to these values !

lacp_rate

Option specifying the rate in which we'll ask our link partner
to transmit LACPDU packets in 802.3ad mode. Possible values
are:

slow or 0
Request partner to transmit LACPDUs every 30 seconds

fast or 1
Request partner to transmit LACPDUs every 1 second

The default is slow.
