Global EtherChannel Ports Assignment

This area lists the EtherChannel assignments for all interfaces on the selected software (switch) instance
and is not specific to any EtherChannel instance. In native IOS, this can be used to add ports to an
EtherChannel instance by setting the operational mode to "manual" or "auto" and specifying the channel
number. If the specified channel number does not exist, it will be immediately created on the switch. In
hybrid or pure CatOS mode, this area assigns ports to channel admin groups, from which the switch will
automatically form active EtherChannel instances. The table contains the following information:

formation in hybrid/pure CatOS, the EtherChannel list on this dialog will not automatically update with
the new EtherChannel object. Reselect the appropriate software object to refresh the list.

IP Address—IP address of the EtherChannel interface.
Netmask—The subnet mask associated with the EtherChannel IP Address. The value of the mask is
in the format of an IP address with all the network bits set to 1 and all the host bits set to 0.
Clear IP Address —After receiving confirmation, will unset the IP address for the EtherChannel.

EtherChannel Ports
Interface—Indicates the slot/port number by interface.
Operation Mode—The operation mode of the interface in the admin group. This field has one of the
following values:
– off—The interface does not belong to an admin group. Setting the value to this selection will
remove the interface from the current admin group. Note that removing the last interface from
an active EtherChannel instance on a hybrid/pure CatOS switch will automatically delete the
EtherChannel, while in native IOS the EtherChannel will still need to be deleted using the
Delete EtherChannel button on the Status Tab.
manual or auto—Indicates that the port is to belong to the admin group with the indicated PAgP
–
operational mode. Setting the value to this selection with an admin group specified will
immediately add the interface to the indicated EtherChannel in native IOS or to the admin group
(from which an EtherChannel may form) in hybrid or pure CatOS.
Admin Group—In native IOS, this is the EtherChannel identifier that the interface belongs to (or the
new EtherChannel to be created). In hybrid or pure CatOS, this is the channel group to which the
interface belongs.
