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 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.
