Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces Configuration Overview

Note: This topic is specific to the SRX3000 and SRX5000 line devices. For information about link aggregation for other SRX Series devices and J Series devices, see the Junos OS Layer 2 Bridging and Switching Configuration Guide for Security Devices.

To configure an aggregated Ethernet interface:

1. Set the number of aggregated Ethernet interfaces on the device. Add link to “Adding Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces Using the Device Count (CLI Procedure)”
2. Associate a physical interface with the aggregated Ethernet interface. Add link to “Associating Physical Interfaces with Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces (CLI Procedure)”
3. (Optional) Set the required link speed for all the interfaces included in the bundle. Add link to “Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Link Speed (CLI Procedure)”
4. (Optional) Configure the minimum number of links that must be up for the bundle as a whole to be labeled as up. Add link to “Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Minimum Links (CLI Procedure)”
5. (Optional) Enable or disable VLAN tagging. Add link to “Understanding VLAN Tagging for Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces”
6. (Optional) Enable promiscuous mode. Add link to “Understanding Promiscuous Mode for Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces”
