Solution

The maximum links by default can be set to 16. If needed we can even set it to higher values. Verified this on a lab device as well.


lab@mx960-re0# set chassis aggregated-devices maximum-links ?

Possible completions:

 <maximum-links>   Maximum links limit for aggregated devices (16, 32, or 64)


Note that for MX Series routers, to set a range of 32 or 64 the router must be running in Enhanced IP mode

We get the below error when trying to set the value to 32:

 

[edit]

 'chassis'

  MX must be configured with enhanced-ip or enhanced-ethernet to set aggregated-devices maximum-links to 32
