Configuring an aggregate interface

Most of the configurations that can be performed on Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces can also be
performed on Layer 2 interfaces.

Configuring the description of an aggregate interface

You can configure the description of an aggregate interface for administration purposes such as
describing the purpose of the interface.
To configure the description of an aggregate interface:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
2.
interface view.
Configure the description
3.
of the aggregate
interface.

Enabling link state traps for an aggregate interface

You can configure an aggregate interface to generate linkUp trap messages when its link goes up
and linkDown trap messages when its link goes down. For more information, see Network
Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
To enable link state traps on an aggregate interface:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enable the trap function
2.
globally.
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
3.
interface view.
Enable link state traps for the
4.
aggregate interface.
Limiting the number of Selected ports for an aggregation
group
The bandwidth of an aggregate link increases along with the number of selected member ports. To
avoid congestion caused by insufficient Selected ports on an aggregate link, you can set the
minimum number of Selected ports required for bringing up an aggregate interface.
This minimum threshold setting affects the aggregation state of both aggregation member ports and
the aggregate interface in the following ways:
