Minimum-Links - Dell S6100 Configuration Manual

Version
pre-Version 6.2.1.0
Usage Information
Port Channel interfaces are logical interfaces and can be either in Layer 2 mode (by using the switchport
command) or Layer 3 mode (by configuring an IP address). You can add a Port Channel in Layer 2 mode to a
VLAN.
The shutdown, description, and name commands are the only commands that you can configure on an
interface while it is a member of a Port Channel. To add a physical interface to a Port Channel, the interface can
only have the shutdown, description, and name commands configured. The Port Channel's configuration is
applied to the interfaces within the Port Channel.
A Port Channel can contain any physical interface. Based on the first interface configured in the Port Channel and
enabled, Dell Networking OS determines the common speed. For more information, refer to channel-member.
If the line card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also configure the mtu and ip mtu commands. The Link MTU
and IP MTU values configured on the channel members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU values
configured on the Port Channel interface.
If the stack—unit card is in a Jumbo mode chassis, you can also configure the mtu and ip mtu commands. The
Link MTU and IP MTU values configured on the channel members must be greater than the Link MTU and IP MTU
values configured on the Port Channel interface.
Example
Dell(conf)# int port-channel 2
Dell(conf-if-po-2)#
