Configuring the LACP Port Channel Min-Links Feature

You can specify the minimum number of active ports that must be in the link-up state and bundled in an
EtherChannel for the port channel interface to transition to the link-up state. Using EtherChannel min-links,
you can prevent low-bandwidth LACP EtherChannels from becoming active. Port channel min-links also
cause LACP EtherChannels to become inactive if they have too few active member ports to supply the
requiredminimum bandwidth.
To configure the minimum number of links that are required for a port channel. Perform the following tasks.
SUMMARY STEPS
