This is why when given a choice I always like to design L2 networks to
not require dynamic protocols where possible.  E.g. rely on
autonegotiation's Remote Fault Indication (RFI) or Far End Fault
Indication (FEFI) rather than using BFD/UDLD/CFM, use static link
aggregation rather than LACP, use Virtual Chassis with distributed
static AE interfaces rather than use MC-LAG or STP, etc.

Can you just use static AE interfaces instead of using LACP?
