When you delete an aggregation, the member devices are not deleted from Prime Network; only the
aggregation definition is deleted. To create an aggregation, see Working with Aggregations, page 5-16.
Overlays
Overlays isolate the parts of a network that are being used by a specific service, such as an ethernet service
or network clock. Figure 5-3 shows an example of an Ethernet Service overlay, where the ethernet link is
using the service.
