When implementing Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on a PowerProtect DD appliance, a
virtual network interface is created to aggregate the physical interfaces into a single logical link. This
configuration is essential to enable LACP functionality, as it allows the system to balance network
traffic effectively across multiple physical connections, enhancing redundancy and throughput. By
aggregating these physical interfaces, the appliance can better handle high data volumes, providing
stable and efficient access to the underlying network resources.
The virtual network interface manages the logical grouping, ensuring seamless failover and load
balancing between the physical links that comprise the aggregated connection.
