You can configure an aggregate interface in WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance.
You must be assigned the WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance administration permission to perform these steps.
You can link multiple network interfaces into a single aggregate interface. An aggregate interface is made up of one or more Ethernet interfaces to act as a single logical unit. Use this feature to distribute traffic over your network. You can use the command-line interface or the web console to create an aggregate interface. Using the command-line interface to create aggregate interfaces is the preferred approach. For each operation, you must log in to the appliance first. After you complete an operation, run the clear-all command, and restart your appliance.
Traffic on a failed Ethernet port in an aggregate is transferred to a working Ethernet port. When you use a single switch, this can protect against port failures. By using redundant switches, you can protect against network switch failures.
You can select load balancing policies to distribute both inbound and outbound traffic.
Two systems can be connected by multiple links in various aggregation configurations.
As an administrator, you can manage multiple Ethernet Interfaces as a single aggregate interface unit.
