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
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
interface view.
interface bridge-aggregation
interface-number
N/A
3.
Configure the description
of the aggregate
interface.
description
text
Optional
By default, the description of an
interface is in the format of
interface-name
Interface
, such as
Bridge-Aggregation1 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
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

N/A
2.
Enable the trap function
globally.
snmp-agent trap enable

Optional
By default, link state trapping is
enabled globally and on all
interfaces.
3.
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
interface view.

N/A
4.
Enable link state traps for the
aggregate interface.
enable snmp trap updown
Optional.
Enabled by default.
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:
