Ethernet Interfaces
===================
Ethernet interfaces, both physical and virtual, play a key role in the overall
performance of the virtualized network. Therefore, it is important to
understand the available interface types, their configuration options, and
their impact on network design.

About LAG/AE Interfaces
-----------------------
You can use |LAG| for Ethernet interfaces. |prod-os| supports up to four ports
in a |LAG| group.
Ethernet interfaces in a |LAG| group can be attached either to the same L2
switch, or to multiple switches in a redundant configuration. For more
information about L2 switch configurations, see :ref:`L2 Access Switches
<network-planning-l2-access-switches>`. For information about the different
|LAG| modes, see |node-doc|: :ref:`Link Aggregation Settings
<link-aggregation-settings>`.
