LACP Port Channel MinLinks

Configurations
Channel mode of links
LACP Port Channel MinLinks
A port channel aggregates similar ports to provide increased bandwidth in a single manageable interface. The
MinLinks feature allows you to define the minimum number of interfaces from a LACP bundle that must fail
before the port channel goes down.
The LACP port channel MinLinks feature does the following:
• Configures the minimum number of port channel interfaces that must be linked and bundled in the LACP
• Prevents a low-bandwidth LACP port channel from becoming active.
• Causes the LACP port channel to become inactive if only a few active members ports supply the required
Note
The MinLinks feature works only with LACP port channels. The device allows you to configure this feature
in non-LACP port channels, but the feature is not operational.

Configuring Port Channels

Creating a Port Channel

You can create a port channel before creating a channel group. Cisco NX-OS automatically creates the
associated channel group.
Note
If you want LACP-based port channels, you need to enable LACP.
