Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Link Speed

On aggregated Ethernet interfaces, you can set the required link speed for all interfaces included in the bundle. Generally, all interfaces that make up a bundle must have the same speed. If you include in the aggregated Ethernet interface an individual link that has a speed different from the speed that you specify in the link-speed parameter, an error message is logged. However, starting with Junos OS Release 13.2, aggregated Ethernet supports the following mixed rates and mixed modes on T640, T1600, T4000, and TX Matrix Plus routers:

  • Member links of different modes (WAN and LAN) for 10-Gigabit Ethernet links.
  • Member links of different rates: 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, 50-Gigabit Ethernet, 100-Gigabit Ethernet, and OC192 (10-Gigabit Ethernet WAN mode)

Note:

  • Member links of 50-Gigabit Ethernet can only be configured using the 50-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces of 100-Gigabit Ethernet PIC with CFP (PD-1CE-CFP-FPC4).
  • Starting with Junos OS Release 13.2, 100-Gigabit Ethernet member links can be configured using the two 50-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces of 100-Gigabit Ethernet PIC with CFP. This 100-Gigabit Ethernet member link can be included in an aggregated Ethernet link that includes member links of other interfaces as well. In releases before Junos OS Release 13.2, the 100-Gigabit Ethernet member link configured using the two 50-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces of 100-Gigabit Ethernet PIC with CFP cannot be included in an aggregated Ethernet link that includes member links of other interfaces.

To configure member links of mixed rates and mixed modes on T640, T1600, T4000, and TX Matrix Plus routers, you need to configure the mixed option for the [edit interfaces aex aggregated-ether-options link-speed] statement.

To set the required link speed:

  1. Specify that you want to configure the aggregated Ethernet options.
    user@host# edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options
  2. Configure the link speed.
    [edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options ]user@host# set link-speed speed

    speed can be in bits per second either as a complete decimal number or as a decimal number followed by the abbreviation k (1000), m (1,000,000), or g (1,000,000,000).

    Aggregated Ethernet interfaces on the M120 router can have one of the following speeds:

    • 100m—Links are 100 Mbps.
    • 10g—Links are 10 Gbps.
    • 1g—Links are 1 Gbps.
    • oc192—Links are OC192 or STM64c.

    Aggregated Ethernet links on EX Series switches can be configured to operate at one of the following speeds:

    • 10m—Links are 10 Mbps.
    • 100m—Links are 100 Mbps.
    • 1g—Links are 1 Gbps.
    • 10g—Links are 10 Gbps.
    • 50g—Links are 50 Gbps.

    Aggregated Ethernet links on T Series routers can be configured to operate at one of the following speeds:

    • 100g—Links are 100 Gbps.
    • 100m—Links are 100 Mbps.
    • 10g—Links are 10 Gbps.
    • 1g—Links are 1 Gbps.
    • 40g—Links are 40 Gbps.
    • 50g—Links are 50 Gbps.
    • 80g—Links are 80 Gbps.
    • 8g—Links are 8 Gbps.
    • mixed—Links are of various speeds.
    • oc192—Links are OC192.
