Create Lag

directconnect_create_lag R Documentation

Description

Creates a link aggregation group (LAG) with the specified number of bundled physical dedicated connections between the customer network and a specific Direct Connect location. A LAG is a logical interface that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) to aggregate multiple interfaces, enabling you to treat them as a single interface.

All connections in a LAG must use the same bandwidth (either 1Gbps, 10Gbps, 100Gbps, or 400Gbps) and must terminate at the same Direct Connect endpoint.

You can have up to 10 dedicated connections per location. Regardless of this limit, if you request more connections for the LAG than Direct Connect can allocate on a single endpoint, no LAG is created..

You can specify an existing physical dedicated connection or interconnect to include in the LAG (which counts towards the total number of connections). Doing so interrupts the current physical dedicated connection, and re-establishes them as a member of the LAG. The LAG will be created on the same Direct Connect endpoint to which the dedicated connection terminates. Any virtual interfaces associated with the dedicated connection are automatically disassociated and re-associated with the LAG. The connection ID does not change.

If the Amazon Web Services account used to create a LAG is a registered Direct Connect Partner, the LAG is automatically enabled to host sub-connections. For a LAG owned by a partner, any associated virtual interfaces cannot be directly configured.

Usage

directconnect_create_lag(numberOfConnections, location,
  connectionsBandwidth, lagName, connectionId, tags, childConnectionTags,
  providerName, requestMACSec)

Arguments

numberOfConnections

[required] The number of physical dedicated connections initially provisioned and bundled by the LAG. You can have a maximum of four connections when the port speed is 1Gbps or 10Gbps, or two when the port speed is 100Gbps or 400Gbps.

location

[required] The location for the LAG.

connectionsBandwidth

[required] The bandwidth of the individual physical dedicated connections bundled by the LAG. The possible values are 1Gbps,10Gbps, 100Gbps, and 400Gbps.

lagName

[required] The name of the LAG.

connectionId

The ID of an existing dedicated connection to migrate to the LAG.

tags

The tags to associate with the LAG.

childConnectionTags

The tags to associate with the automtically created LAGs.

providerName

The name of the service provider associated with the LAG.

requestMACSec

Indicates whether the connection will support MAC Security (MACsec).

All connections in the LAG must be capable of supporting MAC Security (MACsec). For information about MAC Security (MACsec) prerequisties, see MACsec prerequisties in the Direct Connect User Guide.
