Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies the interface that you want to add to a
channel group, and enters the interface configuration
mode.
Configures the interface as a Layer 3 port.
Configures the port in a channel group and sets the
mode. The channel-number range is from 1 to 4096.
The Cisco NX-OS software creates the port channel
associated with this channel group if the port channel
does not already exist.
(Optional) Forces an interface with some incompatible
configurations to join the channel. The forced interface
must have the same speed, duplex, and flow control
settings as the channel group.
