Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage
Information
If an IP address or VRRP group is assigned to the interface, you cannot use the
switchport command on the interface. To use the switchport command on an
interface, only the
no ip address and no shutdown statements must be
listed in the show config output.
When you enter the switchport command, the interface is automatically added
to the default VLAN.
To use the switchport backup interface command on a port, first enter the
switchport command. For more information, refer to the “Configuring
Redundant Links” section in the “Layer 2” chapter of the Dell Networking OS
Configuration Guide.

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 Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
• For the S-Series, the maximum port channel ID is 128 and the maximum members per port channel is
8.
Because 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. In the S-Series, stack members can provide
those ports.
NOTE: The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure
a LAG on both switches manually. For information about Dell 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
Networking OS Configuration Guide.
