Reset to default

It's default behavior on Juniper devices.

From documentation:

Configure a logical interface on the physical device. You must configure a logical interface to be able to use the physical device.

So, from this point we firstly set two or more interfaces as aggregated

aeX

and after we determine logical interface aeX.0 with needed settings.

Also from documentation inet(interfaces):

You must configure a logical interface to be able to use the physical device.
