Creating a LAG

Scenarios

Create a LAG to aggregate multiple connections at a Direct Connect endpoint.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the service list, choose Network > Direct Connect.
3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Direct Connect > LAGs.
4. On the LAGs page, click Create LAG.
5. Configure the parameters based on Table 1.

   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.
