Removing a dynamic aggregate interface also removes the corresponding aggregation group. At 
the same time, the member ports of the aggregation group, if any, leave the aggregation group. 

z

 

To guarantee a successful dynamic aggregation, ensure that the peer ports of the ports 
aggregated at one end are also aggregated. The two ends can automatically negotiate the 
selected state of the ports.
