PROBLEM
I am configuring (4) NICs on a two-node AF200 9.9.1P6 cluster with LACP, to attach to a pair of Cisco switches (configured with vPC)
The (2) Cisco switches are emitting identical LACP System IDs, which is good
* Both Cisco switches: 00-23-04-EE-BE-D1
But each of the ONTAP nodes are emitting different LACP System IDs, which is bad
* On Node 1, system ID = 02-A0-98-D7-EE-08
* On Node 2, system ID = 02-A0-98-D7-F3-01
CONFIGURE
I created the ifgrp as follows:
network port ifgrp create -node ontap-n1 -ifgrp a0b -distr-func ip -mode multimode_lacp
network port ifgrp create -node ontap-n2 -ifgrp a0b -distr-func ip -mode multimode_lacp
network port ifgrp add-port -node ontap-n1 -ifgrp a0b -port e0d
network port ifgrp add-port -node ontap-n2 -ifgrp a0b -port e0d
network port ifgrp add-port -node ontap-n1 -ifgrp a0b -port e0f
network port ifgrp add-port -node ontap-n2 -ifgrp a0b -port e0f
ontap-n1::> network port show -ifgrp-port a0b

I am referring to the following KB article to interpret ifconfig output: https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_OS/How_to_Troubleshoot_LACP_Issues_with_ifconfig_-v_in_ONTAP_9.2?mt-view=f1
QUESTION
What am I missing here? Is there something about the 'ifgrp' creation that I have forgotten?
