Create Link in LAG

You can add a link between a LAG and a generic system.

To create a link in a LAG using the GUI:

  1. From the blueprint, navigate to Staged > Physical > Topology and select a leaf that is part of a LAG. (Alternatively, you can click the leaf name from the Nodes table at Staged > Physical > Nodes.)
    Network management interface showing physical topology with spine nodes, leaf nodes, devices, filters, and uncommitted changes indicator.
    The Topology selection view appears.
  2. Check the Show Unused Ports check box, select a LAG interface and one of the unused port interfaces, then click Create link in LAG.
    Network topology interface showing nodes, links, and interfaces. Unused ports are displayed. Interfaces xe-0/0/4 and xe-0/0/5 are selected for Link Aggregation Group creation. Focus on rack evpn_esi_001 and node leaf2. Yellow indicator for uncommitted changes.
    The Create Links dialog opens.
  3. Select available ports and transformations, as applicable. From the drop-down list, select the generic system to link to.
    Network configuration interface showing port xe-0/0/5 on leaf2 selected, connecting to rack1-server1. Add Link button available.
    The gray Add Link button turns green.
  4. Click Add Link.
    The new link is added in the table on the right.
  5. Dual-attached links to leaf groups (evpn-esi) must be symmetric. Add the second link, as applicable.
  6. Click Create.
The new link is staged and you're returned to the Topology view.

When you're ready to activate your changes, go to the Uncommitted tab to review and commit (or discard) your changes.
