You can configure the minimum links in a port channel (LAG) that must be in “oper up” status for the port
channel to be considered to be in “oper up” status. Use the following command in the INTERFACE mode:
Figure 20-13 displays an example of configuring five minimum “oper up” links in a port channel.

Add or remove a port channel from a VLAN
As with other interfaces, you can add Layer 2 port channel interfaces to VLANs. To add a port channel to a
VLAN, you must place the port channel in Layer 2 mode (by using the
switchport command).
To add a port channel to a VLAN, use either of the following commands:
