Configure an Aggregate Ethernet Interface Variable

Before configuring an Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interface variable, you must configure the Aggregate Ethernet interface group.
Log in to
Strata Cloud Manager
.
Select
Manage

), or select
auto
to have the firewall automatically determine the speed.
Select whether the
Link Duplex
transmission mode is full-duplex (
full
), half-duplex (
half
), or negotiated automatically (
auto
).
By default,
auto
is selected by default to allow the firewall to negotiate the transmission mode automatically.
Select whether the interface
Link State
is enabled (
Force to up
), disabled (
Force to down
), or determined automatically (
Auto Detect
).
Auto detect
is selected by default to allow the firewall to determine the link state.
Configure Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the interfaces of supported firewalls to transfer electrical power from the firewall to a connected powered device.
The
PoE Enabled
is selected by default if the PoE is active on ports.
Set the amount of
PoE Reserved Power
by the port in Watts. This value must be a number between
0
and the Maximum Reserved Power of the port. A
0
indicates that no power is reserved by that PoE port.
Set the
LACP Port Priority
.
The firewall only uses this field if you enabled the Link Aggregation Control Protocol for the aggregate group. If the number of interfaces you assign to the group exceeds the number of active interfaces, the firewall uses the LACP port priorities of the interfaces to determine which are in standby mode. The lower the numeric value, the higher the priority (range is 1-65,535; default is 32,768).
