• Priority-Flow-Control

that Cisco NX-OS uses.
You can only add interfaces configured with the channel mode set to on to static EtherChannels. You can also
only add interfaces configured with the channel mode as active or passive to EtherChannels that are running
LACP. You can configure these attributes on an individual member port.
When the interface joins an EtherChannel, the following individual parameters are replaced with the values
on the EtherChannel:
• Bandwidth
• MAC address
• Spanning Tree Protocol
The following interface parameters remain unaffected when the interface joins an EtherChannel:
• Description
• CDP
• LACP port priority
• Debounce

• QoS
• Bandwidth
• Delay
• STP
• Service policy
• ACLs
• Beacon
