The ipaggcreate command is a Linux utility, typically associated with Infiniband or RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) technologies, that creates an IP aggregation group.

This allows multiple network interfaces to be treated as a single logical interface, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy. This is achieved by grouping multiple underlying physical interfaces into a single, higher-bandwidth virtual interface.

This command is often part of a larger suite of tools used for managing high-performance networking environments, particularly those leveraging Infiniband or similar interconnects. Its usage is specific to environments configured for IP over Infiniband or related technologies.

This command is highly specific to IP over Infiniband configurations. It requires the appropriate Infiniband drivers and libraries to be installed and configured. Incorrect usage can disrupt network connectivity. It also has dependencies on RDMA libraries and tools.

Example command: ipaggcreate agg0. This creates an aggregation group named 'agg0'. You would then need to add physical interfaces to this aggregation group using other ip or related commands (which are outside the scope of this command itself).

ipaggcreate may interact with NetworkManager, depending on the system's configuration. In some environments, NetworkManager might attempt to manage the newly created aggregation interface. Careful configuration is required to avoid conflicts.
