configuration becomes the common speed of the port channel. If the other interfaces configured in that
port channel are configured with a different speed, Dell Networking OS disables them.
For example, if four interfaces (TenGig 0/1, 0/2, 0/3 and 0/4) in which TenGig 0/1 and TenGig 0/2 are set
to speed 1000 Mb/s and the others(te 0/3 and 0/4) are set to 10000 Mb/s, with all interfaces enabled, and
you add them to a port channel by entering channel-member tengigabitethernet 0/1-4 while in
port channel interface mode, and Dell Networking OS determines if the first interface specified (TenGig
0/1) is up. After it is up, the common speed of the port channel is 1000 Mb/s. Dell Networking OS disables
those interfaces configured with speed 10000 Mb/s or whose speed is 10000 Mb/s as a result of auto-
negotiation.
In this example, you can change the common speed of the port channel by changing its configuration so
the first enabled interface referenced in the configuration is a 1000 Mb/s speed interface. You can also
change the common speed of the port channel here by setting the speed of the Gi 0/0 interface to 1000
Mb/s.
Configuration Tasks for Port Channel Interfaces
To configure a port channel (LAG), use the commands similar to those found in physical interfaces. By
default, no port channels are configured in the startup configuration.
These are the mandatory and optional configuration tasks:
• Creating a Port Channel (mandatory)
• Adding a Physical Interface to a Port Channel (mandatory)
• Reassigning an Interface to a New Port Channel (optional)
• Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel (optional)
• Adding or Removing a Port Channel from a VLAN (optional)
• Assigning an IP Address to a Port Channel (optional)
• Deleting or Disabling a Port Channel (optional)
• Load Balancing Through Port Channels (optional)
Creating a Port Channel
You can create up to 128 port channels with eight port members per group on the .
To configure a port channel, use the following commands.
1. Create a port channel.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface port-channel id-number
2. Ensure that the port channel is active.
INTERFACE PORT-CHANNEL mode
no shutdown
After you enable the port channel, you can place it in Layer 2 or Layer 3 mode. To place the port channel
in Layer 2 mode or configure an IP address to place the port channel in Layer 3 mode, use the
switchport command.
