Nokia Network Voyager Reference Guide for IPSO 6.0 - Check Point

Link AggregationGroup ConfigurationOnce the physical interfaces are configured, you need to create and configure link aggregationgroups.You can put ports on different LAN interface cards in the same aggregation group. For example,you can include a port on a card in slot 1 and a port on a card in slot 2 in the same group.If you use VRRP and VPN-1 NG, you can run firewall synchronization traffic over anaggregated link, regardless of which ports participate in the link.To configure link aggregation groups1. Click Link Aggregation under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.2. In the New Group ID field, enter a numeric value to identify the group of aggregratedinterfaces.3. Click Apply.An entry for the new group appears under Existing Link Aggregation Groups.4. Use the Primary Port pull-down menu to select a port for the aggregation group.The menu shows the physical names of the interfaces that correspond to the availableEthernet ports. For example, eth1 corresponds to the first built-in Ethernet port, and eth-s5p1corresponds to port 1 on the NIC in slot 5. Be careful not to select a port that you are usingfor a management connection.5. Click Apply.The entry for the aggregation group indicates that the MAC address for the interface youselected is used as the MAC address for all the interfaces in the group.6. Add other ports to the group by selecting other interfaces from the Add Port menu andclicking Apply.7. Specify the minimum number of physical port that must be active for the aggregation group(logical interface) to remain active.If the number of active ports becomes less than this number, the logical interface isdeactivated.NoteNetwork Voyager’s display of the aggregated bandwidth does not reflect whether any ofthe ports are physically up or logically active.8. Click Apply.Logical ConfigurationWhen you have completed the aggregation group, you must configure it with an IP address andso on. Navigate to the Interfaces Configuration page and click the logical name of the group.Nokia Network Voyager Reference Guide for IPSO 6.0 35
