PortChannel interfaces provide configuration options for both Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
Note
However, based on the PortChannel membership, only Gigabit Ethernet parameters or Fibre Channel
parameters are applicable.

Configuring Ethernet PortChannels

The PortChannel configuration specified in the eCisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration
Guide also applies to Ethernet PortChannel configurations.
To configure Ethernet PortChannels, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch1# config terminal
switch1(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# interface port-channel 10
switch(config-if)#
Step 3
switch(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1
