Deployment Guide

Version Description
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by using the switchport
command) or Layer 3 mode (by conguring an IP address). You can add a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a
VLAN.
A Port Channel can contain both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based on the rst interface congured in
the Port Channel and enabled, the Dell Networking OS determines if the Port Channel uses 100 Mb/s or 1000
Mb/s as the common speed. For more information, refer to channel-member.
If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also congure the mtu and ip mtu commands. The Link MTU
and IP MTU values congured on the channel members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU values
congured on the Port Channel interface.
NOTE: In a Jumbo-enabled system, you must congure all members of a Port Channel with the same
link MTU values and the same IP MTU values.
Example
Dell(conf)#int port-channel 2
Dell(conf-if-po-2)#
Related Commands
channel-member — adds a physical interface to the LAG.
interface — congures a physical interface.
interface vlan — congures a VLAN.
interface range
This command permits conguration of a range of interfaces to which subsequent commands are applied (bulk conguration). Using the
interface range command, you can enter identical commands for a range of interface.
Syntax
interface range interface, interface,...
To delete a description, enter no description command.
Parameters
interface,
interface,...
Enter the keyword interface range and one of the interfaces — slot/port, port-channel or
VLAN number. Select the range of interfaces for bulk conguration. You can enter up to
six comma separated ranges—spaces are not required between the commas. Comma-
separated ranges can include VLANs, port-channels and physical interfaces.
Slot/Port information must contain a space before and after the dash. For example,
interface range tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 is valid; interface
range tengigabitethernet 0/1-5 is not valid.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan followed by a number from 1 to 4094.
Defaults none
