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.
Only the shutdown, description, mtu, and ip mtu commands can be configured on an interface if it
is added to a Port Channel. The mtu and ip mtu commands are only available when the chassis is in
Jumbo mode.
