Common Troubleshooting
No LACPPDUs are sent by the Linux VM.
1) A Common cause that prevents LACPPDUs from transmitting is if the link speed is unable to be automatically negotiated on the member interfaces. Manually setting the link speed and restarting the networking stack/rebooting should resolve this case. Be sure to update all member interfaces.
This can be verified by using the bond0 interface check from step 14 shows Unknown for the Speed of the member.
