NOTE: The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure
a LAG on both switches manually. For information about Dell Networking OS link aggregation
control protocol (LACP) for dynamic LAGs, refer to the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
chapter. For more information about configuring and using Port Channels, refer to the Dell
Networking OS Configuration Guide
.
channel-member
Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode.
Syntax
channel-member interface
To delete an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member
interface command.
Parameters
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and slot/
port or number information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
Defaults Not configured.

Command
History
Version 9.2(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator. This command is
supported in Programmable-Mux (PMUX) mode only.
Version 8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
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 configuration.
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 configured 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 configuration 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 different line cards but must be the same physical
