Specifying an Aggregated Interface

You specify aggregated interfaces by assigning a number for the aggregated interface. For aggregated Ethernet interfaces, configure aex as in the following example:

[edit interfaces]

ae0 {

...

}

For aggregated SONET/SDH interfaces, configure asx as in the following example:

[edit interfaces]

as0 {

...

}

The maximum number of aggregated interfaces is 16, and the assigned number can be from 0 through 15. You should not mix SONET and SDH mode on the same aggregated interface.

NOTE: SONET/SDH aggregation is proprietary to the JUNOS software and might not work with other software.

For aggregated Ethernet interfaces, you must include the vlan-tagging statement at the [edit interfaces aex] hierarchy level to complete the association.
