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)#
