Aggregated Ethernet Iinterface Link Speed
Learn about aggregated Ethernet interface link speed and how to configure aggregate Ethernet link speed with an example.
Aggregated Ethernet Interface Link Speed Overview
On aggregated Ethernet interfaces (aex), you can set the required link speed for all interfaces
included in the bundle. All interfaces that make up a bundle must be the same speed. If
you include in the aex an individual link that has a speed different from the speed you
specify in the link-speed parameter, an error message will be
logged.
The speed value is specified in bits per second either as a complete decimal number or as a decimal number followed by the abbreviation k (1000), m (1,000,000), or g (1,000,000,000).
Aggregated Ethernet interfaces on SRX Series devices can have one of the following speed values:
100m—Links are 100 Mbps.
10g—Links are 10 Gbps.
1g—Links are 1 Gbps.
Example: Configure Aggregated Ethernet Link Speed
This example shows how to configure the aggregated Ethernet link speed.
Requirements
Before you begin:
Add the aggregated Ethernet interfaces using the device count. See Example: Configuring the Number of Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces on a Device.
Associate physical interfaces with the aggregated Ethernet Interfaces. See Example: Associating Physical Interfaces with Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces.
Overview
In this example, you set the required link speed for all interfaces included in the bundle to 10 Gbps. All interfaces that make up a bundle must be the same speed.
Configuration
Procedure
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure the aggregated Ethernet link speed:
Set the link speed.
[edit] user@host# set interfaces ae0 aggregated-ether-options link-speed 10g
If you are done configuring the device, commit the configuration.
[edit] user@host# commit
Verification
To verify the configuration is working properly,
enter the show interfaces command.
