To add a range of ports to a PortChannel, perform these steps:
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc1/1 - 5
Configures the specified range of interfaces. In this example, interfaces from 1/1 to 1/5 are configured.
Step 3 switch(config-if)# channel-group 2
Adds physical interfaces 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, and 1/5 to channel group 2. If channel group 2 does not exist, it is created.
If the compatibility check is successful, the interfaces are operational and the corresponding states apply to these interfaces.
