Abstract
Various systems and methods take advantage of physical interfaces that are a part of Link Aggregation Group (LAG) to avoid traffic drops when disruptive configurations are applied to a port of a switch or router. In embodiments, in networking topologies using (SAN)-based traffic, where zero losses are expected, lossless deployment may be accomplished by using LACP to proactively intervene and redirect traffic flow in both ingress and egress directions of a to-be-configured port, e.g., to other ports of the LAG.
