Link aggregation, also called trunking, is a way of combining multiple physical links into a single logical link.

Link and Connection Inference infers aggregate links in the following way. A logical link is inferred between the aggregate interfaces and physical links are created between physical interface pairs participating in the aggregate interface. When an aggregate link is inferred based on IP address, the logical (aggregate) interface is configured with an IP address and the physical interfaces are configured as members of the aggregate interface.

The Aggregate Link Rule (in Link Inference Merge Rules) must be enabled for aggregate links to be inferred and created by Link and Connection Inference.
