Resolution
AggregateInterface is a new class added to the product suite support creation of Layer 3 aggregation (i.e AggregateInterface).
Earlier version of SMARTS created AggregatePorts from both ports and Interfaces. The AggregatePort was derived from Port classes and hence some of the interface properties were not created.
An enhancement was created to add layer 3 aggregation through the same LACP protocol for interfaces
When an interface index is is represented in the LACP MIB and if that was created as an interface, then we create AggregateInterface instead of AggregatePort now.
AggregatePorts will be composed of Ports and AggregateInterface will be composed of Interfaces only.
