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 Dell EMC Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
● The platform supports 128 port channels and 16 members per port channel.
As 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. But stack members can provide those ports.
NOTE: The Dell EMC Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure a LAG on both
switches manually. For information about Dell EMC Networking OS link aggregation control protocol (LACP) for dynamic
LAGs, refer to the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) chapter. For more information about configuring and using
Port Channels, refer to the Dell EMC Networking OS Configuration Guide.
channel-member
Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode.
Syntax
channel-member interface
To delete an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member interface command.
Parameters
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and the interface information:
● For a 1-GigabitEthernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then
the slot/port information.
● For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
Defaults Not configured.
