Working with Management Aggregation
Management Aggregation (MAGG) is a High Availability and Load Sharing solution for management interfaces. You can create Bonds that put physical management interfaces together in one virtual interface.
To create a new management Bond, run one of these commands:
add bonding group <bond_id> mgmtadd bonding group <bond_id> mgmt interface <mgmt_interface_name>
The second command creates the management Bond and adds a slave management interface with one step.
Note: You must use the mgmt parameter only when you create a new management Bond. For all other configuration activities, use the standard commands and parameters without the mgmt parameter. For more information, see Configuring Link Aggregation.
Limitations:
- You cannot include interfaces in a management Bond
- You cannot configure VLANs for a management Bond
- A Bond can be for Data or Management, but not both
- We recommend that you do not mix 1G and 10G management interfaces in a Bond
Example
This example creates a management Bond with two slaves:
> add bonding group 4 mgmt interface eth1-Mgmt3
> add bonding group 4 interface eth2-Mgmt3
> set bonding group 4 mode 8023AD
> show bonding group 4
