The M-series, MX-series, and T-series routing platforms support aggregated interfaces.
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 Ethernet interfaces is 128, and the assigned number can be from 0 through 127. The maximum number of aggregated SONET interfaces is 16, and the assigned number can be from 0 through 15. You should not mix SONET and SDH modes on the same aggregated interface.

Note: SONET/SDH aggregation is proprietary to the JUNOS software and might not work with other software. |
If you are configuring VLANs for aggregated Ethernet interfaces, you must include the vlan-tagging statement at the [edit interfaces aex] hierarchy level to complete the association.
