NOTE:

The rate of an aggregate interface equals the total rate of its member ports in the Selected state, and its
duplex mode is the same as the selected member ports. For more information about the states of member
ports in an aggregation group, see “

Aggregation states of member ports in an aggregation group

.”

Aggregation states of member ports in an aggregation group

A member port in an aggregation group can be in either of the following aggregation states:

Selected: A Selected port can forward user traffic.

Unselected: An Unselected port cannot forward user traffic.

Operational key

When aggregating ports, the system automatically assigns each port an operational key based on port

information such as port rate and duplex mode. Any change to this information triggers a recalculation

of the operational key.
In an aggregation group, all selected member ports are assigned the same operational key.

Configuration classes

Every configuration setting on a port may affect its aggregation state. Port configurations fall into the

following classes:

Port attribute configurations, including port rate, duplex mode, and link status (up/down), which
are the most basic port configurations.

Class-two configurations, as described in

Table 2

. A member port can be placed in the Selected

state only if it has the same class-two configurations as the aggregate interface.

Table 2 Class-two configurations

Feature

Considerations

Port isolation

Whether the port has joined an isolation group, and the isolation group to which
the port belongs

QinQ

QinQ enable state (enable/disable), TPID for VLAN tags, outer VLAN tags to be
added, inner-to-outer VLAN priority mappings, inner-to-outer VLAN tag

mappings, inner VLAN ID substitution mappings

VLAN

Permitted VLAN IDs, PVID, link type (trunk, hybrid, or access), protocol-based
VLAN configuration, VLAN tagging mode

MAC address learning

MAC address learning capability, MAC address learning limit, forwarding of
frames with unknown destination MAC addresses after the MAC address

learning limit is reached

NOTE:

Class-two configurations made on an aggregate interface are automatically synchronized to all its
member ports. These configurations are retained on the member ports even after the aggregate

interface is removed.

Any class-two configuration change may affect the aggregation state of link aggregation member ports
and ongoing traffic. To make sure that you are aware of the risk, the system displays a warning message
every time you attempt to change a class-two configuration setting on a member port.
