Abstract
A method, a device, and a system for implementing a multiplexor (mux) machine, where the method includes setting an aggregation port of a first network device to a collecting and distributing state when a mux machine of the first aggregation port of the first network device is in a collecting distributing state, starting, by the first network device, a timer, and switching the mux machine from the collecting distributing state to an attached state when the first network device determines, when the timer expires, that no Link Aggregation Control Port data unit (LACPDU) packet that is from a second network device and that indicates that an aggregation port of the second network device is in the collecting and distributing state is received.
