(NNMi Advanced) Link AggregationProtocols used on Switches to configure multiple Interfaces (Aggregation Member Interfaces) to function as if they were one (an Aggregator Interface). When two Aggregator Interfaces establish a connection, that connection is an Aggregator Layer 2 Connection. The Aggregator Layer 2 Connection appears on Layer 2 Neighbor View maps as a thick line with an Interface icon at each end (representing the Aggregator Interface). or Split Link AggregationLink Aggregation with more than two endpoints. Some vendors refer to this as Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation, SLAG, MLAG, or MC-LAG.: If the Layer 2 Connection is an Aggregator, the Status is calculated using the combined Status of all Aggregation Member Layer 2 Connections. For more information, see Layer 2 Connection Form: Link Aggregation Tab (NNMi Advanced) and Status Color for Aggregator Objects.
