    Table 1 Parameter description

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Specifies the name of the LAG.

    The name can contain 1 to 64 characters.

    Location

    Specifies the location where your leased line can access.

    LACP Type

    Specifies how you want the LAG to work.

    • Manual: LACP is not enabled on your gateway, and you want to manually configure the load to be evenly shared among all the connections associated with the LAG.
    • Static: LACP is enabled on your on-premises gateway. LACP will automatically determine the connections to which the load will be shared by checking the health status of each port.

    Minimum Links

    The minimum number of connections that must be active to ensure that a LAG is operational.

    Value range: 1 to 16

    Connections

    Specifies the connection to be associated.

    NOTE:
    • You can associate a maximum of 10 standard connections terminated at the same location and with the same port type.
    • Connections that have virtual interfaces associated or have been associated with a LAG are not allowed.
    • Connections that are not in the Normal state are not allowed.
    • After you select a connection that has a specific port type, connections that have other port types will not be available for selection.
  6. Click OK.
