This example shows how to create an EtherChannel:
switch# configure terminal
switch (config)# interface port-channel 1
Adding a Port to an EtherChannel
You can add a port to a new channel group or to a channel group that already contains ports. Cisco NX-OS
creates the EtherChannel associated with this channel group if the EtherChannel does not already exist.
If you want LACP-based EtherChannels, you need to enable LACP.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies the port-channel interface to configure, and
enters the interface configuration mode. The range is
from 1 to 4096. Cisco NX-OS automatically creates
the channel group if it does not already exist.
Removes the EtherChannel and deletes the associated
channel group.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies the interface that you want to add to a channel
group and enters the interface configuration mode.
(Optional)
Configures the interface as a trunk port.
(Optional)
Configures necessary parameters for a trunk port.
Configures the port in a channel group and sets the
mode. The channel-number range is from 1 to 4096.
Cisco NX-OS creates the EtherChannel associated with
this channel group if the EtherChannel does not already
exist. This is called implicit EtherChannel creation.
(Optional)
Removes the port from the channel group. The port
reverts to its original configuration.
