Link Aggregate Interface Configuration

Before configuring an aggregate group, you must configure its interfaces. Among the interfaces assigned to any particular aggregate group, the hardware media can differ (for example, you can mix fiber optic and copper), but the bandwidth and interface type must be the same.

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) allows multiple physical Ethernet links to be bundled together into a logical Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interface, providing higher bandwidth, redundancy, and resiliency.

As we can see from the illustration, Link Aggregate Interface Configuration has many fascinating aspects to explore.

n aggregate interface group uses IEEE 802.1AX link aggregation to combine multiple Ethernet interfaces into a single virtual interface that connects the firewall to another network device or firewall.
