Configuring an Aggregated Ethernet Interface

date_range 09-Feb-23

You can associate a physical interface with an aggregated Ethernet interface.

To configure an aggregated Ethernet interface:

  1. Specify that you want to configure the link aggregation group interface.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    user@host# edit interfaces interface-name
    
  2. Configure the aggregated Ethernet interface.
    content_copy zoom_out_map
    [edit interfaces interface-name]
    user@host# set ether-options 802.3ad aex
    

You specify the interface instance number x to complete the link association; You must also include a statement defining aex at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level. You can optionally specify other physical properties that apply specifically to the aggregated Ethernet interfaces; for details, see Ethernet Interfaces Overview.

Note:

In general, aggregated Ethernet bundles support the features available on all supported interfaces that can become a member link within the bundle. As an exception, Gigabit Ethernet IQ features and some newer Gigabit Ethernet features are not supported in aggregated Ethernet bundles.

Gigabit Ethernet IQ and SFP interfaces can be member links, but IQ- and SFP-specific features are not supported on the aggregated Ethernet bundle even if all the member links individually support those features.

You need to configure the correct link speed for the aggregated Ethernet interface to eliminate any warning message.

Note:

Before you commit an aggregated Ethernet configuration, ensure that link mode is not configured on any member interface of the aggregated Ethernet bundle; otherwise, the configuration commit check fails.
