www.dell.com | support.dell.com Assign an IP Address to a Port Channel You can assign an IP address to a port channel and use port channels in Layer 3 routing protocols. To assign an IP address, use the following command in INTERFACE mode: Command Syntax ip address ip-address mask [secondary] Command Mode INTERFACE Purpose Configure an IP address and mask on the interface. • ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D) and the mask must be in slash format (/24). • secondary: the IP address is the interface's backup IP address. Delete or Disable a Port Channel To delete a port channel, use the no interface portchannel channel-number command in CONFIGURATION mode. When you disable a port channel (using the shutdown command) all interfaces within the port channel are operationally down also. Bulk Configuration Bulk configuration allows you to determine if interfaces are present, for physical interfaces, or, configured, for logical interfaces. Interface Range An interface range is a set of interfaces to which other commands may be applied, and may be created if there is at least one valid interface within the range. Bulk configuration excludes from configuring any non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default VLAN may be configured only if the interface range being configured consists of only VLAN ports. The interface range command allows you to create an interface range allowing other commands to be applied to that range of interfaces. The interface range prompt offers the interface (with slot and port information) for valid interfaces. The maximum size of an interface range prompt is 32. If the prompt size exceeds this maximum, it displays (...) at the end of the output. Note: Non-existing interfaces are excluded from interface range prompt. 238 | Interfaces
