Deployment Guide

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 conguration to change the designated
speed. 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 conguration to change the
designated speed. For more information about Port Channels, refer to the Dell Networking OS Conguration Guide.

clear counters
Clear the counters used in the show interfaces commands for VLANs, and physical interfaces, or selected ones.
Syntax
clear counters interface
Defaults Without a specic interface specied, the command clears all interface counters.
Parameters
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and slot/port or number to clear
counters from a specied interface:
• For the management interface on the stack-unit, enter the keyword
managementethernet followed by slot/port information. The slot and port range is
0.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keyword port-channel followed by a number.
Range: 1-128
NOTE: This command also enables you to clear the port congurations
corresponding to a range of ports.
• You can specify multiple ports as slot/port-range. For example, if you
want to clear the port congurations corresponding to all ports between 1 and
4, specify the port range as show interfaces interface-type 1/1
- 4.
