Interfaces in a PortChannel You can add or remove a physical interface (or a range of interfaces) to an existing PortChannel. The compatible parameters on the configuration are mapped to the PortChannel. Adding an interface to a PortChannel increases the channel size and bandwidth of the PortChannel. Removing an interface from a PortChannel decreases the channel size and bandwidth of the PortChannel. This section describes interface configuration for a PortChannel and includes the following topics: • About Interface Addition to a PortChannel, page 23-13 • Adding an Interface to a PortChannel, page 23-14 • Forcing an Interface Addition, page 23-15 • About PortChannel Deletion, page 23-12 • Deleting an Interface from a PortChannel, page 23-16 About Interface Addition to a PortChannel You can add a physical interface (or a range of interfaces) to an existing PortChannel. The compatible parameters on the configuration are mapped to the PortChannel. Adding an interface to a PortChannel increases the channel size and bandwidth of the PortChannel. After the members are added, regardless of the mode (ACTIVE and ON) used, the ports at either end are gracefully brought down, indicating that no frames are lost when the interface is going down (see the "32-Port Switching Module Configuration Guidelines" section on page 23-2 and "Graceful Shutdown" section on page 20-11).
