Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces (CLI Procedure)
Use the link aggregation feature to aggregate one or more links to form a virtual link or aggregation group. The MAC client can treat this virtual link as if it were a single link. Link aggregation increases bandwidth, provides graceful degradation as failure occurs, and increases availability.
 |
Note: An interface with an already configured IP address cannot form part of the aggregation group. |
To configure aggregated Ethernet interfaces, using the CLI:
- Specify the number of aggregated Ethernet interfaces
to be created:
[edit chassis]
user@switch#set aggregated-devices device-count 2 - Specify the minimum number of links for the aggregated
Ethernet interface (aex), that is, the defined
bundle, to be labeled “up”:
Note: By default only one link must be up for the bundle to be labeled “up”.
[edit interfaces]
user@switch#set ae0 aggregated-ether-options minimum-links 2 - Specify the link speed for the aggregated Ethernet
bundle:
[edit interfaces]
user@switch#set ae0 aggregated-ether-options link-speed 10g - Specify the members to be included within the aggregated
Ethernet bundle:
[edit interfaces]
user@switch#set xe-0/1/0 ether-options 802.ad ae0
user@switch#set xe-1/1/0 ether-options 802.ad ae0 - Specify an interface family for the aggregated
Ethernet bundle:
[edit interfaces]
user@switch#set ae0 unit 0 family inet address 192.0.2.0/25
