Yes, aggregate links can be vwire.

Just to verify, I assume this means that on the PA you only setup VWIRE and thats it?

And the aggregating stuff is made by the endpoints (the switch/router/whatever before/after the PA device)?

Or do you have to configure aggregated interfaces on the PA itself for this when using VWIRE?

Hi Mikand,

Leaving the link aggregation to the end-points is recommended when configuring vwire on the firewall. It is possible to use aggregate interfaces on the firewall on vwire, but as far as I know there is no benefit to doing this and it is not considered best practice.

Cheers,

Kelly
