Configuring the Minimum Oper Up Links in a Port Channel
You can configure the minimum links in a port channel (LAG) that must be in “oper up” status to consider the port channel to be
in “oper up” status.
To set the “oper up” status of your links, use the following command.
● Enter the number of links in a LAG that must be in “oper up” status.
INTERFACE mode
minimum-links number
The default is 1.
Dell#config t
Dell(conf)#int po 1
Dell(conf-if-po-1)#minimum-links 5
Dell(conf-if-po-1)#
Adding or Removing a Port Channel from a VLAN
As with other interfaces, you can add Layer 2 port channel interfaces to VLANs. To add a port channel to a VLAN, place the
port channel in Layer 2 mode (by using the switchport command).
To add or remove a VLAN port channel and to view VLAN port channel members, use the following commands.
● Add the port channel to the VLAN as a tagged interface.
INTERFACE VLAN mode
tagged port-channel id number
An interface with tagging enabled can belong to multiple VLANs.
● Add the port channel to the VLAN as an untagged interface.
INTERFACE VLAN mode
untagged port-channel id number
An interface without tagging enabled can belong to only one VLAN.
● Remove the port channel with tagging enabled from the VLAN.
INTERFACE VLAN mode
no tagged port-channel id number
or
no untagged port-channel id number
● Identify which port channels are members of VLANs.
EXEC Privilege mode
show vlan
Assigning an IP Address to a Port Channel
You can assign an IP address to a port channel and use port channels in Layer 3 routing protocols.
To assign an IP address, use the following command.
● Configure an IP address and mask on the interface.
INTERFACE mode
ip address ip-address mask [secondary]
○ ip-address mask: enter an address in dotted-decimal format (A.B.C.D). The mask must be in slash format (/24).
○ secondary: the IP address is the interface’s backup IP address. You can configure up to eight secondary IP addresses.
