Link aggregation interface commands

Link aggregation interface mode provides the commands to define or modify the configuration of an aggregate interface.

To enter the configuration mode, use the Global link-aggregation command with the name of the aggregate interface.

While in this mode, use the commands in the following table to configure the aggregate interface.

  • To view the current configuration, use the show command.
  • To restore default values, use the reset command.
  • To exit this configuration mode without saving changes to the running configuration, use the cancel command.
  • To exit this configuration mode and save changes to the running configuration, use the exit command.
Note: Examples use interfaces that might not apply to your DataPower® Gateway. Examples are for illustrative purposes of function.
Table 1. Aggregate interface configuration commands
Command Purpose
admin-state This command sets the administrative state for the configuration.
hardware-offload This command indicates whether the aggregate interface offloads TCP/IP packet processing.
ip-address This command assigns the primary network address for the aggregate interface.
ip-config-mode This command identifies the configuration mode for the aggregate interface.
ip-route This command manages static routes in the routing table for the aggregate interface.
ip-secondary-address This command manages secondary network addresses for the aggregate interface.
ipv4-default-gateway This command designates the default IPv4 gateway for the aggregate interface.
ipv6-dadtransmits This command sets the number of IPv6 duplication address detection attempts for the aggregate interface.
ipv6-default-gateway This command sets the interval between IPv6 neighbor discovery attempts for the aggregate interface.
ipv6-nd-retransmit-timer This command sets the interval between IPv6 neighbor discovery attempts for the aggregate interface.
lacp-hash This command sets which hash function that the LACP aggregation uses to determine the interface for outbound packets.
lacp-rate This command sets the rate in the LACP aggregation.
lacp-select This command sets the algorithm for the LACP selection policy.
link This command manages Ethernet interfaces in the aggregate interface.
mtu This command sets the maximum transmission unit of the aggregate interface.
standby-authentication This command changes the authentication string for the aggregate interface in the standby group.
standby-distribution-algorithm This command specifies the distribution algorithm for incoming connections when standby group self-balancing is enabled for the aggregate interface.
standby-enable This command controls whether to allow a standby configuration for the aggregate interface.
standby-group This command sets the number of the standby group for the aggregate interface.
standby-hello-timer This command sets the frequency that the aggregate interface broadcasts hello messages.
standby-hold-timer This command sets the duration that the aggregate interface waits before it attempts a failover.
standby-preempt This command controls preemption in the standby configuration for the aggregate interface. Do not enable preemption.
standby-priority This command sets the priority of the aggregate interface in the standby group.
standby-secondary-virtual-ip This command adds an auxiliary virtual IP address to the aggregate interface.
standby-self-balance This command indicates whether the standby group uses self-balancing for the aggregate interface.
standby-virtual-ip This command sets the virtual IP address of the standby group for the aggregate interface.
summary This command specifies the brief, descriptive summary for the object instance.
type This command defines the mode to use for link aggregation.
Table 2. Aggregate interface action commands
Command Purpose
disable-aggregation-hardware-offload This command manages the temporary disabling of hardware offload for the aggregate interface.
packet-capture This command manages the inclusion of the aggregate interface in the standby group.
yield-standby This command manages the inclusion of the aggregate interface in the standby group.
