Performing protocol on member links of aggregated link that uses address of aggregated link

Each embodiment of the invention generally relates to performing protocol on member links of an aggregated link that uses an address of the aggregated link. The problem of being unable to run microBFD using an IPv6 address over any member links of a layer 2 LAG when the LAG is DOWN (and its IPv6 address becomes or is TENTATIVE), is addressed by running DAD for the address configured for the microBFD once the individual link is in DISTRIBUTING or STANDBY state and triggering (or starting) microBFD once the DAD for that address completes successfully. Further, member links of the LAG may be permitted to continue running microBFD even if the LAG interface is DOWN and even if some other member links (but not all member links) of the LAG are DOWN. 本发明的各实施例总体上涉及在使用聚合链路地址的聚合链路的若干链路上执行协议。具体地，涉及在LAG处于不通(并且其IPv6地址变成或处于暂定)是无法使用IPv6地址在层2LAG的任意构件链路上运行微双向转发检测(microBFD)的问题通过旦单独链路处于分发或待机状态就对针对microBFD配置的地址运行DAD以及旦DAD针对该地址成功完成就触发(或开始)microBFD来解决。此外，LAG的构件链路可以被允许继续运行microBFD，即使LAG接口处于不通以及即使LAG的某些其他构件链路(但不是所有构件链路)处于不通。
