To create a SAP aggregation group on a 7705 SAR Apipe

Note: SAP aggregation groups can be created only on Apipe services that are configured with the ATM VCC or ATM N:1-N>1 VC Type option. See To create a VLL service for more information about configuring the VC type.

A SAP aggregation group can contain up to 16 SAPs.

Alternatively, you can create SAPs for a SAP aggregation group by right-clicking on the L2 Access Interfaces entry and choosing the newly created SAP aggregation group.

The QoS and Accounting tabs are dimmed when an L2 access interface is assigned to a SAP aggregation group. The QoS and accounting policies that are assigned to the SAP aggregation group are automatically assigned to all of the SAPs in the group.
