- AE Interface Mode — Select which aggregate interface mode with a pick list ( Primary / Backup—
not available for all devices).
Aggregate
This screen configures aggregate ethernet interface options.

The Enable checkbox lets you use the following fields:
-
Flow Control — Enable/Disable flow control.
-
Loopback — Enable/Disable loopback.
-
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.
