Juniper Aggregate Interfaces (LACP/No LACP)
Last week, I was implementing link aggregation on Juniper EX Series switches (EX4200). I was moving them off HP switches and putting them into Juniper. We were moving VMWare ESX boxes, NetApp and some physical boxes, though the configuration is very simple, I would like to mention how to do those with these boxes. Points to remember: You will explicitly need to create “Aggregated Ethernet” interfaces on juniper You cannot have more than 64 AE interfaces on a single Virtual Chassis You cannot change the algorithm for load balancing between the multiple links. (If you are interested in the Junipers LAG algorithm read this ) Now having said this, lets look at the common steps, you need to create the Aggregated Ethernet interfaces on the Juniper. root@EX4200#set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count 4 The above command will create 4 “ae” interfaces, after you commit, you should see ae0 – ae 3 created. You can have any value between 1 and 64 in...
