Usage
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by
Information
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.
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.
If the stack—unit 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.
