Doc Text:
.`NetworkManager` now supports the `lacp_active` option in the bonding configuration By using `NetworkManager`, the `lacp_active` option in bonding configuration provides fine-grained control over Link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Units (LACPDU) frames. The `lacp_active` option also adjusts the behavior of LACPDU frames and controls periodic transmission of these frames in the bonding setup. To customize network configurations, you can enable or disable periodic transmission of LACPDU frames by setting `lacp_active` to `ON` or `OFF`.
