aws directconnect create-lag
Creates a link aggregation group (LAG) with the specified number of bundled physical dedicated connections between the customer network and a specific AWS 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 or 10Gbps) and must terminate at the same AWS Direct Connect endpoint. You can have up to 10 dedicated connections per LAG. Regardless of this limit, if you request more connections for the LAG than AWS 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 AWS 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 AWS account used to create a LAG is a registered AWS 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
Options
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
--number-of-connections <integer> | The number of physical dedicated connections initially provisioned and bundled by the LAG |
--location <string> | The location for the LAG |
--connections-bandwidth <string> | The bandwidth of the individual physical dedicated connections bundled by the LAG. The possible values are 1Gbps and 10Gbps |
--lag-name <string> | The name of the LAG |
--connection-id <string> | The ID of an existing dedicated connection to migrate to the LAG |
--tags <list> | The tags to associate with the LAG |
--child-connection-tags <list> | The tags to associate with the automatically created LAGs |
--provider-name <string> | The name of the service provider associated with the LAG |
--request-mac-sec | 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) prerequisites, see MACsec prerequisites in the AWS Direct Connect User Guide |
--no-request-mac-sec | 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) prerequisites, see MACsec prerequisites in the AWS Direct Connect User Guide |
--cli-input-json <string> | Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally |
--generate-cli-skeleton <string> | Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value ``input``, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for ``--cli-input-json``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command |
