Update a LAG at an AWS Direct Connect endpoint - AWS Direct Connect

You can update the following link aggregation group (LAG) attributes using either the AWS Direct Connect console or using the command line or API:

  • The name of the LAG.

  • The value for the minimum number of connections that must be operational for the LAG itself to be operational.

  • The LAG's MACsec encryption mode.

    MACsec is only available on dedicated connections.

    AWS assigns this value to each connection that is part of the LAG.

    The valid values are:

    • should_encrypt

    • must_encrypt

      When you set the encryption mode to this value, the connections go down when the encryption is down.

    • no_encrypt

  • The tags.

Note

If you adjust the threshold value for the minimum number of operational connections, ensure that the new value does not cause the LAG to fall below the threshold and become non-operational.

  1. Open the AWS Direct Connect console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/v2/home.
