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.
The shutdown, description, and name commands are the only commands that you
can configure on an interface while it is a member of a Port Channel. To add a physical
interface to a Port Channel, the interface can only have the shutdown, description,
and name commands configured. The Port Channel’s configuration is applied to the
interfaces within the Port Channel.
A Port Channel can contain any physical interface. Based on the first interface
configured in the Port Channel and enabled, Dell Networking OS determines 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, all members of a Port Channel must be
configured with the same link MTU values and the same IP MTU values.
Example
Dell(conf)# int port-channel 2
Dell(conf-if-po-2)#
