Reference Guide

Because each port can be assigned to only one Port Channel, and each Port Channel must have at least one port, some
of those nominally available Port Channels might have no function because they could have no members if there are not
enough ports installed. In the S-Series, those ports could be provided by stack members.
NOTE: The FTOS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure a LAG on both switches
manually. For information about FTOS 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 FTOS Configuration Guide .
