Concept Guide
Version Description
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by using the switchport
command) or Layer 3 mode (by conguring an IP address). You can add a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a
VLAN.
A Port Channel can contain both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based on the rst interface congured in
the Port Channel and enabled, the Dell Networking OS determines if the Port Channel uses 100 Mb/s or 1000
Mb/s as the common speed. For more information, refer to .
If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also congure the mtu and ip mtu commands. The Link MTU
and IP MTU values congured on the channel members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU values
congured on the Port Channel interface.
NOTE: In a Jumbo-enabled system, you must congure all members of a Port Channel with the same link
MTU values and the same IP MTU values.
Example
Dell(conf)#int port-channel 2
Dell(conf-if-po-2)#
