Service Manual

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 both 100/1000 interfaces and GE interfaces. Based on the first interface
configured in the Port Channel and enabled, 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, 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)#
