Port Channel Commands A link aggregation group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link according to IEEE 802.3ad. In FTOS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel. Table 14-9. Port Channel Limits Platform Maximum Port Channel IDs Maximum Members per Port Channel MXL Switch 128 16 Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must have at least one port, some of those nominally available Port Channels might have no function because they could have no members if there are not enough ports installed. In the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module, those ports could be provided by stack members. The commands in this section are specific to Port Channel interfaces: • channel-member • group • interface port-channel • minimum-links • port-channel failover-group • show config • show interfaces port-channel Note: The FTOS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure a LAG on both switches manually. For information on FTOS Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, refer to Chapter 17, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). For more information on configuring and using Port Channels, refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide. channel-member Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in the INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode. Syntax channel-member interface To delete an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member interface command. Parameters interface Enter the following keywords and slot/port or number information: • For a Ten Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port information. • For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE followed by the slot/port information. Defaults Not configured. Command Modes INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL Command History Version 8.3.16.1 Introduced on MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module Interfaces | 277
