Usage Information
If an IP address or VRRP group is assigned to the interface, you cannot use the
switchport command on the interface. To use the switchport command on an
interface, only the no ip address and no shutdown statements must be listed in
the
show config output.
When you enter the switchport command, the interface is automatically added to
the default VLAN.
To use the switchport backup interface command on a port, first enter the
switchport command. For more information, see “Configuring Redundant Links” in
the Layer 2 section in the
Dell Networking OS Configuration Guide.
Port Channel Commands
A Link Aggregation Group (LAG) is a group of links that appear to a MAC client as if they were a single link
according to IEEE 802.3ad. In Dell Networking OS, a LAG is referred to as a Port Channel.
• The platform supports 4096 port channels and 16 members per port channel.
As 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. But stack members can provide those ports.
NOTE
: The Dell Networking OS implementation of LAG or Port Channel requires that you configure a LAG
on both switches manually. For information about Dell Networking OS 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 Dell Networking OS Configuration
Guide
.
channel-member
Add an interface to the Port Channel, while in INTERFACE PORTCHANNEL mode.
Syntax
channel-member interface
To delete an interface from a Port Channel, use the no channel-member interface
command.
Parameters
interface (OPTIONAL) Enter any of the following keywords and the
interface information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword
TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port/subport
information.
