    Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Links (CLI Procedure)

    Use the link aggregation feature to aggregate one or more links to form a virtual link or link aggregation group (LAG). The MAC client can treat this virtual link as if it were a single link to increase bandwidth, provide graceful degradation as failure occurs, and increase 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:

    1. Specify the number of aggregated Ethernet interfaces to be created:
      [edit chassis]
      user@switch# set aggregated-devices ethernet device-countnumber
    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 number
    3. Specify the link speed for the aggregated Ethernet bundle:
      [edit interfaces]
      user@switch# set ae0 aggregated-ether-options link-speed 10g
    4. Specify the members to be included within the aggregated Ethernet bundle:
      [edit interfaces]
      user@switch# set xe-0/1/0 ether-options 802.3ad ae0
      user@switch# set xe-1/1/0 ether-options 802.3ad ae0
    5. 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
