Loopback interfaces
A Loopback interface is a virtual interface where the software emulates an interface. Because a Loopback interface is not associated to
physical hardware entities, the Loopback interface status is not aected by hardware status changes.
Packets routed to a Loopback interface process locally to the OS10 device. Because this interface is not a physical interface, to provide
protocol stability you can congure routing protocols on this interface. You can place Loopback interfaces in default L3 mode.

Port-channel interfaces
Port-channels are not congured by default. Link aggregation (LA) is a method of grouping multiple physical interfaces into a single logical
interface — a link aggregation group (LAG) or port-channel. A port-channel aggregates the bandwidth of member links, provides
redundancy, and load balances trac. If a member port fails, the OS10 device redirects trac to the remaining ports.
A physical interface can belong to only one port-channel at a time. A port-channel must contain interfaces of the same interface type and
speed. OS10 supports a maximum of 128 port-channels, with up to thirty-two ports per channel.
To congure a port-channel, use the same conguration commands as the Ethernet port interfaces. Port-channels are transparent to
network congurations and manage as a single interface. For example, congure one IP address for the group, and use the IP address for
all routed trac on the port-channel.
By conguring port channels, you can create larger capacity interfaces by aggregating a group of lower-speed links. For example, you can
build a 40G interface by aggregating four 10G Ethernet interfaces together. If one of the four interfaces fails, trac redistributes across the
three remaining interfaces.
Static
Port-channels are statically congured.
Dynamic Port-channels are dynamically congured using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
