Minimum Links for Aggregated Ethernet Interfaces
Find about how to configure minimum number of links in an aggregated Ethernet interface.
Minimum Links Overview
You can configure the minimum number of links that must be up for the system to designate the entire bundle as up in an aggregated Ethernet interface. By default, the system designates the bundle as up if only one link is up.
If the number of links configured in an aex is less than the minimum-links value
configured in the minimum-links statement, the configuration commit
fails and an error message is displayed.
Example: Configure Aggregated Ethernet Minimum Links
This example shows how to configure the minimum number of links on an aex that must be up for the bundle as a whole to be labeled as up.
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 aex.
Configure the aggregated Ethernet link speed.
Overview
In this example, you specify that on interface ae0 at least eight links must be up for the bundle as a whole to be labeled as up.
Configuration
Procedure
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure the minimum number of links on an aggregated Ethernet interface:
Set the minimum number of links.
[edit] user@host# set interfaces ae0 aggregated-ether-options minimum-links 8
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.
