# Update a LAG at an Direct Connect endpoint
<a name="update-lag"></a>

You can update the following link aggregation group (LAG) attributes using either the 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.
