In a scenario where Switch-1 is configured for LACP and Switch-2 has matching ports but has not enabled LACP, what will be the LACP Forwarding State of ports 1/1/27 and 1/1/28 on Switch-2?

In the described scenario, Switch-1 is configured for Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), which is designed to bundle multiple physical ports to act as a single logical link. For successful operation, both switches in the link aggregation must have LACP enabled and configured correctly.

When Switch-2 has matching ports that are physically connected to the LACP-enabled ports on Switch-1 but has not enabled LACP, the ports on Switch-2 will still be operationally up, provided there is no other misconfiguration, such as a cable issue or a disabled state. Therefore, the ports on Switch-2 (1/1/27 and 1/1/28) will show a status of "Up."

It's important to note that while these ports will be operational and able to pass traffic, they will not participate in the LACP aggregation process because LACP is not enabled on Switch-2. This situation does not lead to an LACP block, down state, or LACP-enabled configuration for those ports, but instead results in them being up and operational, thus allowing them to forward frames independently without aggregation.
