the upstream member interfaces on the PEX. The PEX will attempt to recover the connection with 
the parent fabric by sending protocol control packets out of the upstream member interfaces.

Parameters 
group-id: Specifies a PEX group ID. The group must exist on the device. 
Usage guidelines 
After PEX connection capability is enabled on a Layer 2 aggregate interface, the parent fabric and 
the PEX exchange LLDP packets for neighbor discovery. After the parent fabric and the PEX finish 
neighbor discovery, they send PE CSP Open requests to each other for connection establishment. 
A Layer 2 aggregate interface enabled with PEX connection capability automatically operates in 
dynamic aggregation mode. In addition, the system automatically configures the aggregate interface 
as an edge port of the spanning tree feature for the PEX to quickly come online. 
After you disable PEX connection capability on a Layer 2 aggregate interface, the aggregate 
interface is automatically removed from the PEX group, and its attached PEX goes offline.
