Configuring VLAN Tags for Member Interfaces
To configure and verify VLAN tags for individual members of a port channel, perform the following:
1. Configure VLAN membership on individual ports
INTERFACE mode
Dell(conf-if-te-0/2)#vlan tagged 2,3-4
2. Use the switchport command in INTERFACE mode to enable Layer 2 data transmissions through an individual interface
INTERFACE mode
Dell(conf-if-te-0/2)#switchport
This switchport configuration is allowed only in PMUX mode. In all other modes, it is automatically configured.
3. Verify the manually configured VLAN membership (show interfaces switchport interface command).
EXEC mode
Dell(conf)# interface tengigabitethernet 0/1
Dell(conf-if-te-0/1)#switchport
Dell(conf-if-te-0/1)# vlan tagged 2-5,100,4010
Dell#show interfaces switchport te 0/1

Deleting or Disabling a Port Channel
To delete or disable a port channel, use the following commands.
Delete a port channel.
CONFIGURATION mode
no interface portchannel channel-number
Disable a port channel.
shutdown
When you disable a port channel, all interfaces within the port channel are operationally down also.
Configuring Auto LAG
You can enable or disable auto LAG on the server-facing interfaces. By default, auto LAG is enabled. This functionality is
supported on the Aggregator in Standalone, Stacking, and VLT modes.
To configure auto LAG, use the following commands:
1. Enable the auto LAG on all the server ports.
CONFIGURATION mode
io-aggregator auto-lag enable
Dell(config)# io-aggregator auto-lag enable
To disable the auto LAG on all the server ports, use the no io-aggregator auto-lag enable command. When
disabled, all the server ports associated in a LAG are removed and the LAG itself gets removed. Any LACPDUs received on
the server ports are discarded.
