Configuring an Aggregated Ethernet Interface
On Fast Ethernet, Tri-Rate Ethernet copper, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on M Series and T Series routers, you can associate a physical interface with an aggregated Ethernet interface.
On a Junos Fusion, you can include extended ports (physical interface on a satellite device that provides a connection to servers or endpoints) or local ports in link aggregation groups (LAGs) and MC-LAGs, but not both. For information on extended ports, see Understanding Junos Fusion Ports .
To configure an aggregated Ethernet interface:
You specify the interface instance number x to complete the link association; x
can be from 0 through 127, for a total of 128 aggregated interfaces
on M Series and T Series routers and can be from 1 through 480, for
a total of 480 aggregated interfaces on MX Series routers.
For MX Series routers running Junos release 14.2R3 and later you can
configure a maximum of 1000 aggregated interfaces. Aggregated interfaces
are numbered from ae0 through ae4092.
On MX2010 and MX2020 routers you can configure a maximum of 800 aggregated interfaces.
You must also include a statement defining aex at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy
level. You can optionally specify other physical properties that apply
specifically to the aggregated Ethernet interfaces; for details, see Ethernet Interfaces Overview, and for
a sample configuration, see Example: Configuring Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces.
In general, aggregated Ethernet bundles support the features available on all supported interfaces that can become a member link within the bundle. As an exception, Gigabit Ethernet IQ features and some newer Gigabit Ethernet features are not supported in aggregated Ethernet bundles.
Gigabit Ethernet IQ and SFP interfaces can be member links, but IQ- and SFP-specific features are not supported on the aggregated Ethernet bundle even if all the member links individually support those features.
You need to configure the correct link speed for the aggregated Ethernet interface to eliminate any warning message.
Before you commit an aggregated Ethernet configuration, ensure that link mode is not configured on any member interface of the aggregated Ethernet bundle; otherwise, the configuration commit check fails.
