Change a Management Interface to Aggregated Using the CLI¶

When worker and storage nodes are provisioned, the Ethernet interface used for PXE booting is automatically assigned to the internal management network.

To configure a management LAG interface you first need to remove the internal management network type from the existing management Ethernet interface and then add a new AE interface, specifying the mgmt network type, ae interface type, 802.3 AE mode, transmit hash policy and the standby interfaces.

Prerequisites

The node must be locked to edit an interface.

Procedure

From the command line, delete and then recreate the management interface.
```
~(keystone_admin)$ system host-if-modify -c <node> <interface>
```
where the following options are available:

node
The name of the node from which to delete an interface.

interface
The Ethernet interface to delete.
Create the new interface.
1. Add the interface to the host.
```
~(keystone_admin)$ system host-if-add -c platform -a 802.3ad -x layer2 <node> <interface> ae <ports>
```
2. Assign the interface to a network.
```
~(keystone_admin)$ system interface-network-assign <node> <interface> <network>
```
where the following options are available:

node
The name of the node.

interface
The name to be assigned to the interface.

Caution

To avoid potential internal inconsistencies, do not use upper case characters when creating interface names. Some components normalize all interface names to lower case.

ports
The Ethernet ports to assign.

network
The network to assign the interface to.

For example:
```
~(keystone_admin)$ system host-if-add -c platform -a 802.3ad -x layer2 worker-0 bond0 ae enp0s8 enp0s9
~(keystone_admin)$ system interface-network-assign worker-0 bond0 mgmt
```
