www.dell.com | support.dell.com Usage Information Use the interface port-channel command to access this command. You cannot add an interface to a Port Channel if the interface contains an IP address in its configuration. Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for Port Channels are: • All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value. • The Port Channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members. For example, if the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP MTU 2000, the Port Channel's MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for IP MTU. When an interface is removed from a Port Channel with the no channel-member command syntax, the interface reverts to its configuration prior to joining the Port Channel. An interface can belong to only one Port Channel. You can have sixteen interfaces per Port Channel on the MXL Switch. The interfaces can be located on different stack units but must be the same physical type and speed (for example, all 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces). However, you can combine 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces in the same Port Channel. If the Port Channel contains a mix of interfaces with 100 Mb/s speed and 1000 Mb/s speed, the software disables those interfaces whose speed does not match the speed of the first interface configured and enabled in the Port Channel. If that first interface goes down, the Port Channel does not change its designated speed; you must disable and re-enable the Port Channel or change the order of the channel members configuration to change the designated speed. Refer to the FTOS Configuration Guide for more information on Port Channels. Related Commands description interface port-channel shutdown Assigns a descriptive text string to the interface. Creates a Port Channel interface. Disables/Enables the port channel. group Group two LAGs in a supergroup ("fate-sharing group" or "failover group"). Syntax group group_number port-channel number port-channel number To remove an existing LAG supergroup, use the no group group_number command. Parameters group_number port-channel number Enter an integer from 1 to 32 that will uniquely identify this LAG fate-sharing group. Enter the keyword port-channel followed by an existing LAG number. Enter this keyword/variable combination twice, identifying the two LAGs to be paired. Defaults none 278 | Interfaces
