Configuring Network Interfaces
Step 5 In the Port Channel Number drop-down list, choose the number of the port-channel interface. Up to four
port channels are supported, depending on the WAAS device model and installed interface module.
Step 6 (Optional) In the Bridge Group Number drop-down list, choose the number of the bridge group to which
you want to assign this port-channel interface, if you want to bridge to a virtual blade.
Step 7 (Optional) In the Description field, optionally enter a description for the port channel.
Step 8 (Optional) Check the Shutdown check box to shut down this interface. By default, this option is
disabled.
Step 9 In the Default Gateway field, enter the default gateway IP address.
Step 10 In the Address field, specify the IP address of the interface.
Step 11 In the Netmask field, specify the netmask of the interface.
Step 12 (Optional) From the Inbound ACL drop-down list, choose an IP ACL to apply to inbound packets.
The drop-down list contains all the IP ACLs that you configured in the system.
Step 13 (Optional) From the Outbound ACL drop-down list, choose an IP ACL to apply to outbound packets.
Step 14 Click Submit.
Step 15 Configure the physical interface members as described in the “Assigning Physical Interfaces to a Port
Channel” section on page 1-12.
After you create the port-channel interface, you need to assign physical interfaces to the port channel.
Assigning Physical Interfaces to a Port Channel
After you have configured a logical port-channel interface, you must assign multiple physical interfaces
to the port channel. You can assign up to four physical interfaces to one port-channel interface,
depending on the WAAS device.
You can assign an interface to a port channel only if the interface does not have an IP address assigned.
The interface uses the IP address of the port channel.
You cannot combine built-in Ethernet ports with ports on a Cisco Interface Module into the same
port-channel interface.
Note Removing a physical interface from a port channel on device models WAE-612/674/7341/7371 and
WAVE-574 can cause network disruption for up to 30 seconds. The best practice is to make such changes
when traffic interception is disabled or at an off-peak time when traffic disruption is acceptable.
To add an interface to a port channel, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name.
Step 2 Choose Configure > Network > Network Interfaces. The Network Interfaces window for the device
appears.
Step 3 Click the Edit icon next to the physical interface that you want to assign to a port channel. The
Modifying Network Interface window appears.
Choose a physical interface, not a logical interface (standby, port channel, or BVI), in this step.
