Enable
—Check this to activate the interface.
-
Flow Control
—By default, flow control regulates the amount of traffic sent out a Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface. This is useful if the remote side of the
connection is a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet switch. You can disable flow control if you
want the routing platform to permit unrestricted traffic.
-
Loopback
—By default, local aggregated Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces connect to a remote system, however you can enable loopback
with the pick list here.
-
Link Protection
—Elect to
Enable / Disable
link protection.
-
Link Speed
—Select from the pick list. On aggregated Ethernet interfaces, 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. For aggregated Ethernet links, you can specify speed 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 SONET/SDH links can have one of the following speed values.
• oc3—Links are OC-3c or STM-1c.
• oc12—Links are OC-12c or STM-4c.
• oc48—Links are OC-48c or STM-16c.
• oc192—Links are OC-192c or STM-64c.
-
LACP
—Select from the pick list. The LACP mode can be
Active
or
Passive
. If the actor and
partner are both in passive mode, they do not exchange LACP packets, which results in the
aggregated Ethernet links not coming up. If either the actor or partner is active, they do
exchange LACP packets. By default, LACP is in passive mode on aggregated Ethernet
interfaces. To initiate transmission of LACP packets and response to LACP packets, you must
enable LACP
Active
mode.
-
LACP Periodic
—By default, the actor and partner send LACP packets every second. You can
configure the interval at which the interfaces send LACP packets in this field.
-
Minimum Links
—Enter the minimum number of links. 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
up
. By default, only one link must be up for the bundle to be labeled up.

as you do above, but for individual interfaces to
aggregate. Change the order of aggregation by selecting a listed interface and clicking the up/down
arrows. Aggregated interfaces are numbered from ae0 through ae127. The fields in the editor are
these:
-
Interface name
—The name of the selected interface.
Interface mode
—Select the mode (
Primary, Backup
) from the pick list.
