    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing targeted selection of cascade ports of an aggregation device. In one example, the disclosed techniques enable dynamic assignment of active and backup cascade ports of an aggregation device for each extended port of satellite devices. In this example, rather than allocating resources for each of the extended ports of the satellite devices on all of the cascade ports of the aggregation device, the aggregation device instead allocates resources for each of the extended port only on the assigned active and backup cascade ports for the respective one of the extended ports of the satellite devices. The techniques are also described for providing traffic steering to a backup cascade port in the event the assigned active cascade port is unreachable, and, if the cascade port remains unreachable for a specified duration, the aggregation device may assign new active and backup cascade ports for the extended port.

    Abstract: The techniques describe detecting connectivity failure of an aggregated interface. To monitor connectivity of the aggregated interface, a packet processor of a plurality of packet processors is set as a session master responsible for managing an active forwarding plane connectivity detection session with a peer session master node. The other local packet processors of the virtual network node are selected as session standby nodes that each have a passive forwarding plane connectivity detection session running to the peer session master node. If a session master node goes down (i.e., by link or node failure), one of the local session standby nodes may detect the failure and is set as a new session master node by activating its passive session having the same session parameters.
