Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Update a LAG at an Amazon Direct Connect endpoint

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

    Amazon 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.
