Understanding Minimum Links for Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces

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 as up. By default, only one link must be up for the bundle to be labeled as up.

On SRX3000 and SRX5000 line devices, the valid range for the minimum links number is 1 through 16. When the maximum value (16) is specified, all configured links of a bundle must be up for the bundle to be labeled as up.

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