Example: Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Minimum Links

This example shows how to configure the minimum number of links on an aggregated Ethernet interface that must be up for the bundle as a whole to be labeled as up.

Requirements

Before you begin:

Add the aggregated Ethernet interfaces using the device count. See Example: Configuring the Number of Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces on a Device.
Associate physical interfaces with the aggregated Ethernet Interfaces. See Example: Associating Physical Interfaces with Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces.
Configure the aggregated Ethernet link speed. See Example: Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Link Speed.

Overview

In this example, you specify that on interface ae0 at least eight links must be up for the bundle as a whole to be labeled as up.

Configuration

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure the minimum number of links on an aggregated Ethernet interface:

Set the minimum number of links.
[edit]user@host# set interfaces ae0 aggregated-ether-options minimum-links 8
If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.
[edit]user@host# commit

Verification

To verify the configuration is working properly, enter the show interfaces command.
