In static link aggregation, you can create a port-channel interface or LAG and add member interfaces manually using the CLI commands or gNMI set requests.
In static link aggregation, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) packets are not exchanged between the partner systems. Aggregation and load-balancing of frames on static links is determined by the operational status and administrative state of the link.
Min-Links define the operational state of a LAG interface. If the number of operationally up Ethernet ports are less than configured min-links value, the LAG interface is considered operationally down. By default, min-links value is set to 1. At least one member port must be up, for a LAG interface to be operationally up.
