PA-5450 MGT-A and MGT-B Management Ports configuration

L0 Member

Based on the PA-5400 MPC Component Descriptions, the MGT-A and MGT-B management ports are bundled by default as a LAG:

 

"Two SFP/SFP+ management ports providing 1/10GE connectivity that are used to access the management interface. MGT-A and MGT-B are bundled by default as a LAG (link aggregation group). To leverage both ports, they must be connected to a LAG aware switch." (source)

 

In comparison, this is all we see on the CLI output, it seems to us that the dedicated logging interfaces are bonded (bond1), but it doesn't show this for management interfaces; we can't find any reference in the documentation to the above operation, does anyone know how the two MGT ports of the PA-5450 actually work, how to configure the two MGT ports on the PA-5450?
