Use the no channel-group command to remove the port from the channel group.
Command
no channel-group
Example:
switch(config)# no channel-group
This example shows how to add a Layer 2 Ethernet interface 1/4 to channel group 5:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# switchport
switch(config-if)# channel-group 5

Adding a Layer 3 Port to a Port Channel

You can add a Layer 3 port to a new channel group or to a channel group that is already configured with
Layer 3 ports. The software creates the port channel associated with this channel group if the port
channel does not already exist.
If the Layer 3 port that you are adding has a configured IP address, the system removes that IP address
before adding the port to the port channel. After you create a Layer 3 port channel, you can assign an IP
address to the port-channel interface. You can also add subinterfaces to an existing Layer 3 port channel.
OL-23435-03
Purpose
Configures the port in a channel group and sets the
mode. The channel-number range is from 1 to 4096.
This command creates the port channel associated with
this channel group if the port channel does not already
exist. All static port-channel interfaces are set to mode
on. You must set all LACP-enabled port-channel
interfaces to active or passive. The default mode is on.
(Optional) Forces an interface with some incompatible
configurations to join the channel. The forced interface
must have the same speed, duplex, and flow control
settings as the channel group.
The force option fails if the port has a QoS
Note
policy mismatch with the other members of the
port channel.
(Optional) Displays interface information.
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the
startup configuration.
Purpose
Removes the port from the channel group.
