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.
Follow these steps to configure the description of an aggregate interface:
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
interface view
interface bridge-aggregation
interface-number
Configure the description of
the aggregate interface
Optional
By default, the description of an
interface is 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 the Network Management
and Monitoring Configuration Guide.
Follow these steps to enable link state traps on an aggregate interface:
Enable the trap function
globally
snmp-agent trap enable [ standard [
linkdown | linkup ] * ]
Optional
By default, link state trapping is
enabled globally and on all
interfaces.
Enter Layer 2 aggregate
interface view
interface bridge-aggregation interface-
number
Enable link state traps for the
aggregate interface
Optional
Enabled by default.
Shutting down an aggregate interface
Shutting down or bringing up an aggregate interface affects the aggregation state and link state of ports
in the corresponding aggregation group in the following ways:
When an aggregate interface is shut down, all Selected ports in the aggregation group become
unselected and their link state becomes down.
When an aggregate interface is brought up, the aggregation state of ports in the aggregation
group is recalculated and their link state becomes up.
Follow these steps to shut down an aggregate interface:
