Review the attributes at the bottom of the screen, and set them if applicable. The following attributes are shown in Figure 23-12: • VSAN List-This gives a list of VSANs to which the ISLs belong. • Trunk Mode-You can enable trunking on the links in the PortChannel. Select trunking if your link is between TE ports. Select nontrunking if your link is between E ports. Select auto if you are not sure. • Force Admin, Trunk, Speed, and VSAN attributes to be identical-This check box ensures that the same parameter settings are used in all physical ports in the channel. If these settings are not identical, the ports cannot become part of the PortChannel. • Speed-The port speed values are auto, 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb, autoMax2G, and autoMax4G. Click OK. The PortChannel is created. Note that it may take a few minutes before the new PortChannel is visible in the Fabric pane.
