Version Description
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator.
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 configuring 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 first interface configured 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 configure the mtu and ip mtu commands. The Link
MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU
values configured on the Port Channel interface.
NOTE: In a Jumbo-enabled system, you must configure 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 — configures a physical interface.
interface vlan — configures a VLAN.
interface range
This command permits configuration of a range of interfaces to which subsequent commands are applied (bulk configuration). Using the
interface range command, you can enter identical commands for a range of interface.
Syntax
interface range interface, interface,...

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 configuration. 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
