Usage Information
Use the interface port-channel command to access this command.
You cannot add an interface to a Port Channel if the interface contains an IP address in its conguration.
Link MTU and IP MTU considerations for Port Channels are:
• All members must have the same link MTU value and the same IP MTU value.
• The Port Channel link MTU and IP MTU must be less than or equal to the link MTU and IP MTU values
congured on the channel members. For example, if the members have a link MTU of 2100 and an IP
MTU 2000, the Port Channel’s MTU values cannot be higher than 2100 for link MTU or 2000 bytes for
IP MTU.
When an interface is removed from a Port Channel with the no channel-member command, the
interface reverts to its conguration prior to joining the Port Channel.
An interface can belong to only one Port Channel.
You can add up to 16 interfaces to a Port Channel on the MXL switch. The interfaces can be located on
dierent line cards but must be the same physical type and speed (for example, all 10-Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces). However, you can combine 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces in the same Port Channel.
If the Port Channel contains a mix of interfaces with 100 Mb/s speed and 1000 Mb/s speed, the software
disables those interfaces whose speed does not match the speed of the rst interface congured and
enabled in the Port Channel. If that rst interface goes down, the Port Channel does not change its
designated speed; disable and re-enable the Port Channel or change the order of the channel members
