The following example shows the port channel’s mode (L2 for Layer 2 and L3 for Layer 3 and L2L3 for a
Layer 2-port channel assigned to a routed VLAN), the status, and the number of interfaces belonging to
the port channel.

When more than one interface is added to a Layer 2-port channel, Dell Networking OS selects one of the
active interfaces in the port channel to be the primary port. The primary port replies to flooding and
sends protocol data units (PDUs). An asterisk in the show interfaces port-channel brief
command indicates the primary port.
As soon as a physical interface is added to a port channel, the properties of the port channel determine
the properties of the physical interface. The configuration and status of the port channel are also applied
to the physical interfaces within the port channel. For example, if the port channel is in Layer 2 mode, you
cannot add an IP address or a static MAC address to an interface that is part of that port channel.
