Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Minimum Links

On aggregated Ethernet interfaces, you can configure the minimum number of links that must be up for the bundle as a whole to be labeled up. By default, only one link must be up for the bundle to be labeled up.

To configure the minimum number of links, include the minimum-links statement at the [edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options] hierarchy level:

[edit interfaces interface-name aggregated-ether-options]
minimum-links number;

The number can be from one through eight. The maximum number of links supported in an aggregate is eight or for Ethernet or SONET interfaces on a MX-series, M320, M120, T-series or TX matrix routing platforms, from 1 through 16.

If the number of links configured in an aggregated Ethernet interface is less than the minimum link value configured under the aggregated-ether-options statement, the configuration commit fails and an error message is displayed.
